These are around 100 cards. So i won't post the output for all of them.
As they're all using the same driver and the same firmware - we updated
all of them i hope it's ok to post the output only from one of them.
# ethtool eth2

As this one is pretty long. i pasted dmesg to pastebin:

I tested this one:
ethtool -C eth3 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 2 tx-usecs 0
but it has not helped. Still dropped rx packets. While a 2nd system
receiving the same load using ixgbe has no dropped packets.
