On the upstream driver you can use ethtool -L (set-channels) to set the number of queues: You will need the right combination of ethtool and kernel/driver with get/set-channels support in order for this to work. Unfortunately from what I can tell the upstream igb driver does not support this functionality. So your best bet for now is to use the igb driver from e1000.sf.net which provides the RSS parameter. Hope this helps.
