Dear Davide,
i am using ixp4xx-hss for an HDLC.X21 frontend in packetized mode
with all timeslots from kernel version 2.6.27.36
To receive correctly i had to modify the parameters 
in "hss_config_set_pcr" function. I compared to intel software stack
for IXP425 which was already working for us. 

in function static void hss_config_set_pcr(struct port *port)
....
-		msg.data32 = PCR_FRM_SYNC_OUTPUT_RISING | PCR_MSB_ENDIAN |
-			PCR_TX_DATA_ENABLE;
+		msg.data32 = PCR_FRM_SYNC_ACTIVE_HIGH | PCR_MSB_ENDIAN |
+			PCR_TX_DATA_ENABLE | PCR_FCLK_EDGE_RISING | PCR_FRM_PULSE_DISABLED;
....

Nevertheless i am receiving correct data but packet len is always zero!
Have you already encountered this ???
