I am in a similar circumstance. After a few days of moderate operation, it appears packets can be transmitted, but tcpdump does not see the ingress packet. The IRQs may have issues? I did some troubleshooting with a network appliance vendor in whose devices these cards are installed. Their comments are to use a more current kernel, and to use Intel's drivers from their e1000 sourceforge site. The i40e driver in a more current kernel may operate better. Debian Stretch has 4.14 in stretch-backports. I see many many commits to the i40e module between the 4.9 and 4.14 kernel versions. Maybe the issue has been solved in a more recent kernel/module incarnation. And/Or use the intel (tainted) module/driver. I am persuing both: install the stretch-backports kernel (which provides additional iproute2 functions as a bonus), plus install the separate intel i40e driver. I am testing my auto-build scripts to suit the new requirements. What the real problem is with the driver, I do not know. The above is my version of a workaround. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
