The BF6064X-T has (we believe) either an empty or invalid checksum in an EEPROM related to internal Intel network interfaces. When booting the device, the following error is observed:
igb 0000:0b:00.0: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
Consequently, the kernel will reject the device. As a side effect of this, the enumeration order of the rest of the interfaces changes. It may also affect i2c busses; although this is unclear -- the BF2556X-1T has i2c busses associated with internal NICs, should they fail to be brought up the system management bus will have a "wrong" name).
