Instead of using the FdirMode parameter one thing you could try doing is
just using the "ethtool -K" option to turn on ntuple filtering in order
to enable perfect filters.

The only way you can do UDP filtering with Flow Director is via perfect
filters.  The ATR mode which uses signature filters does not support UDP.
