[ixp1200] No packets received from the card

Hello,

we have a strange problem and the most annoying part is that it shows up
pretty randomly.  The boards used are ENP-2505.

Sometimes, when we start some aces, the card does receive packets, the ace
does send a response, but its response doesn't get to the wire (it happens
even with the WWBump example).
The RmSendPacket() doesn't report any error and everything seems to be
working, except this little thing - no packet is received from the card.
It seems that the packets get lost somewhere in the DL_SASink[] macro, but
I don't really know how to check it or debug it.

Restarting the aces usually helps, but still, this happens once in 4 or 5
times, which makes it VERY annoying when developing something (especially
if it involves more machines at the same time, like in our case).

Has anyone else encountered this problem and, perhaps, found a solution to it?

Best regards,
Matija
