Hi Alfredo,

Interrupts are not seen either with standard driver or with the zc compiled 
i40e driver as well.

What we do in our application is -
We load zc compiled i40e driver and put a zc license on that interface but we 
do not open device using zc: prefix.
Using this we have observed better performAnce in our application when used 
with ixgbe driver.

Regards,
Chandrika
