That's unfortunate, of course. It could be a hypervisor or
a guest kernel bug. ideas:
- does host have mq capability? how many queues?
- how about # of msix vectors?
- after you send something on tx queues,
  are interrupts arriving on rx queues?
- is problem rx or tx?
  set ip and arp manually and send a packet to known MAC,
  does it get there?
