igb(4) won't start with "igb0: Could not setup receive structures"

[Andrey Zonov]

Hi,

Maybe you're right.

OK, let's return default hw.igb.rxd to 256. It seems to be enough for 
stable work and driver is used less memory.
BTW, on the man page igb(4) still written that hw.igb.rxd equals to 256 
by default.
