Hello,

Same problem here with a x540-T2 adapter on a debian squeeze
(2.6.32-5-amd64). After
a quick debugging session I found that the following statement in
ixgbe_recv_pkts (ixgbe_rxtx.c) is
always true and break the loop in charge of receiving packets:

if (! staterr & rte_cpu_to_le32(IXGBE_RXDADV_STAT_DD))
    break;
