That's a bit surprising. I guess we never name our nic tags with the same name as the device. Would you mind just making up some random name that doesn't match the device for the tag? If that fails, then can you share the failed service log? > Could this have anything to do with the fact that this is an OEM X520 instead > of Intel-branded?

From my memory we don't use the subdevice ids in the driver at all.
