I've been doing some performance testing with DNA drivers for ixgbe on
various embedded / low-power systems.  Everything was going fine until I
got to an Intel C2550-based system (quad core, dual port 10G card using
Intel 82599).  I do my normal setup and run:

$ sudo ./load_dna_driver.sh
irqbalance: no process found
Configuring dna0
dna0 mask=1 for /proc/irq/62/smp_affinity
Configuring dna1
dna1 mask=1 for /proc/irq/64/smp_affinity
Configuring dna2
dna2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Configuring dna3
dna3: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device


And then I try to run pfsend on dna0 (this typically works):

$ sudo ~/PF_RING-5.6.2/userland/examples/pfsend -i dna0 -n 0
Sending packets on dna0
###################################################
# ERROR: You do not seem to have a valid DNA license for dna0 [Intel 10
Gbit ixgbe 82599-based].
# We're now working in demo mode with packet capture
# and transmission limited to 5 minutes
###################################################
Using PF_RING v.5.6.2

And it just quits, right there.  Syslog has the following (all the other
syslog entries when loading the pf_ring driver, etc., look fine):

[ 1170.360625] traps: pfsend[8719] trap invalid opcode ip:4072ca
sp:7fffed19ca30 error:0 in pfsend[400000+4e000]

I've tried installing the modules manually and tweaking the modes and
queues, but nothing makes this problem go away.

Any ideas?
