Description Jiri Pirko 2011-10-13 12:30:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

Listed drivers do not use netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() to set up number of TX queues. Therefore sysfs files for queues are not created so TX packet steering cannot be done on these. Fix this by calling netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls /sys/class/net/[ifname]/queues/
  
Actual results:
only tx-0 is there

Expected results:
multiple tx-\d+ are there
Comment 1 Jiri Pirko 2011-10-14 11:22:25 UTC 
This is not needed. register_queue_kobjects() is taking care of it.
