This specifies a filter for UDP/IPv4 packets, and the masks are wrong.
If you actually wanted to filter only UDP/IPv4 packets for VID 0-31 then
the correct syntax would be:

    ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 0 vlan-mask 0xf01f

If you don't care about the layer 3/4 protocols then you would need to
use 'flow-type ether', but no driver implements that yet.  (Well, sfc
implements the *type*, but not filtering by VID only.)
