We have tried the in-kernel drivers from 2.6.32 and 2.6.36 running on
Debian unstable. We also tried version 3.0.14 downloaded from
intel.com. It looks like 3.1.15 was released a few days ago, do you
think that will make any difference?
It does create 24 RxTx interrupts for each interface, we just aren't
seeing any traffic come in past the first 16.
