First a disclaimer this our production system 2.6.29-rc2 but I haven't 
seen any patches since.


# This rule makes the TCAM drop pkts with IP-src 10.10.10.1 
# Note the reversed byte-order. Machine is Opteron little Endian.

ethtool -N  eth0  rx-class-rule-add ip4 udp sip 1.10.10.10 drop  

# The rule listed

ethtool  -n eth0  rx-class-rule-all 
Total 1 rules

      IPv4 Rule:   ID[84] Target[Discard]
      IP src addr[1.10.10.10] mask[255.255.255.255]
      IP dst addr[0.0.0.0] mask[0.0.0.0]
      L4 proto[UDP]
      L4 src port[0] mask[0x0]
      L4 dst port[0] mask[0x0]
      IP TOS[0x0] mask[0x0]

# The rule deleted

ethtool  -N eth0  rx-class-rule-del 84
