There could be a couple of possible issues. First, what kernel are you using? You need to be using a 2.6.30 or later kernel to support ntuple filtering. Second, have you enabled ntuple filtering for the port you are using? The FdirMode parameter is a comma separated value. If you specify FdirMode=2, but have 2 ports, the second port will not be enabled. To enable it for 2 ports you would need to specify FdirMode=2,2. You can also verify that ntuple filtering is enabled by running "ethtool -k eth2". Finally, what version of ethtool are you using? You can verify it via either "ethtool --version", or the version should be the first line of "ethtool -h". In order to support ntuple filters you need to be using version 2.6.39 of ethtool, otherwise unsupported commands are used.
