Can you share whether (and which versions of) Intel Boot Agent was enabled
for these ports. Does the behavior change if Intel Boot Agent is in the
opposite state? Was the failing device used for network booting?
I'm not sure that I have an 82575EB NIC available for testing, but I will try
to track one down.
