RSS queues are changed with “-L” and they’re combined on ixgbe. So “ethtool –L ethX combined 2” is an example.
Turning of flow director/ATR is a trick with ethtool: turn on perfect filters without setting any and flow director will be turned off. This is done with “-K”. So that’s “ethtool –K ethX ntuple on”. Please give those a try.

Not all do, but we can see I’ve been asking for that to be put into the README, but you have no idea how much complaining I got for suggesting that. Having an FAE implies you’re buying large quantities of equipment. Otherwise, you’re probably going through a reseller of some sort and you should go through them for specific questions (requests for changed behavior & tuning, etc).

I'm not sure what an FAE is, though. My "specific need" in this case is that I want to be able to use the module options at load time (it's how all my scripts expect to set things). I suppose I can work around some of that (InterruptThrottlerate) with ethtool options, but I'm not aware of how to set things like # of RSS queues without using a module option.

I think whoever wrote the readme was being optimistic about building on 4.1.2 because certainly, it doesn't. The only real fix in that tarball was to compile on SLES11SP4, so it should only compile up to kernel-4.0.5 just like ixgbe-4.1.1. That also means that most of the driver code in ixgbe-4.1.2 is from June, while the kernel is from July. Since the kernel is newer, it most likely has newer driver code and there's no need to build the out-of-tree driver at this time unless you have a specific need for the features included. If you do have a specific need, please let your FAE know, and we'll try to work with you to get an NDA release. I'll try to get the readme fixed (and renamed to README so we don't have to download it to read it).
