I am trying to use SR-IOV on my machine with an IX driver, but each time i start the vm on the passthrough devices the connections which is started on the virtuall function dedicated for the host, the connection hangs and it is not possible to setup the connection back until I reboot. Do anyone know what i'm missing in my configuration? I don't see any useful logs in dmesg.

The card is the HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter	665249-B21 which is an Intel  X520-DAA2.

Maybe related but when restarting  netif I am getting this message: "Mailbox API negotiation failed in if_init" .I am using the intel-ix-kmod port. I try to update it to the latest 3.3.30 version which provided the same results.



I've the following configuration to setup sr-iov:

```
more /etc/iov-ix0.conf
PF {
        device: "ix0";
        num_vfs: 4;
}

DEFAULT {
        passthrough: true;
        allow-set-mac: true
        allow-promisc: true;
}

VF-0 {
        passthrough: false;
        mac-addr: "36:6b:d2:f9:a9:08";
}
```

and in loader.conf:

```
ifconfig_ixv0="up"

cloned_interfaces="lo1 bgp services"

vlans_ixv0="bgp services"

create_args_bgp="vlan 1000"
create_args_services="vlan 2000"

ifconfig_bgp_ipv6="inet6 XXX/64"

```

vms starts and the device seeps to be setup:
