So let me back off that statement a little bit - the driver hands off a lot of requests to the firmware.
I've had several people look at this issue and it could be because there's LLDP going on in the firmware that might need to be turned off. Unfortunately, that's something that might be controlled by HPe's configuration, and may or may not be an approved HPe configuration. For that reason, you will have to go to HPe for confirmation and for initial support.
