It has been a long time since I used the 260 and a while since the 360. But 
check your memory window setups. Make sure you have caching off to at least 
prove transfers, and verify the Rx mappings are correct. I had this working a 
while ago. It is just a setup problem somewhere in the plethora of memory 
mapping windows. One thing you can do is stash your Rx and Tx rings into the 
internal SRAM. At least that removes one area of potential conflict, along 
with increasing performance once you enabl caching again on main memory.
