  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The RSS flow control incorrectly gets activated when the     *
  * RSS_FLOW_CONTROL is set to a value more that 2GB.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Please upgrade to 11.50.xC9 when available.                  *
  * Alternatively, you can set the  RSS_FLOW_CONTROL to a value  *
  * lower than 2GB.  Note that the flow control can be disabled  *
  * by setting the  RSS_FLOW_CONTROL to -1.  It doesn't need to  *
  * be set to a high value for that purpose.                     *
