The symptoms are strikingly similar to the problem described here (Peter
K, you should have remembered :)
I guess it slipped my mind since it wasn't me having the problem, heh.

and the same solution works for us - replacing the standard CentOS ixgbe

2.6.18-238.12.1 broke it quite bad. With 238.12.1 our servers start dropping
all incomming packets after a while. Sanity can be (temporarily restored with
a "ethtool --negotiate ethX").
We are currently running a kernel that excludes:
linux-2.6-net-ixgbe-fix-for-82599-erratum-on-header-splitting.patch
since that's what seems to break our setup.
