If Linux will only support 4 ports how do you expect to get support to make the others work? It would appear that you may have to go deeper towards the kernel to add the extra hardware that Linux does not supported "naturally".

I hope that someone else may read this post and jump in to offer assistance but you should prepare yourself for disappointment or to research the possibility of making changes at a very low level.
