You can only change the RSS setting using the RSS=#,# module parameter with our out of tree driver available at SourceForge. This is not possible with the in-kernel driver (-k versions), the defaults are different and the in-kernel driver assumes maximum defaults, while the out of tree driver initializes with only one pair of queues by default. Using the out-of-tree driver is only for gathering information, not suggested as a fix. If you load our out-of-tree driver in order to run in a single queue configuration and the packets don't drop, then its likely a problem in the bonding feature. Do you see packet drops with our device in a non-bonded configuration?
