$ cat /proc/interrupts |grep eth0
19:      20635         78        387       1857   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth0
$ cat /proc/interrupts |grep eth0
19:      20635         78        387       3041   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth0

Now only, CPU3 is processing the packets.
So, i think, this driver(pcnet32) is not using multiple Rx Queue.
