Chris, The RSS option was updated a while back to control the number of queues that a workload can be distributed over in a non-DCB mode. Setting it to 0 is only going to give you one queue per port. If you are wanting the behaviour to be that all non-filtered traffic goes to queue 0 your best option would be to modify the driver so that all writes to IXGBE_RETA(x) are nothing but 0. This would force all non-filtered to be dropped into queue 0.
