Facing the same issue with X540-AT2.

When I PXE boot a VM it PXE boots just fine. On that same MAAS installation (tried 2.1.3 and 2.2b2) physical NIC, on the same machine where VM booted just fine, fails to PXE boot.

tcpdump shows enormous ARP traffic:

This leads me to believe that the NIC is the culprit here, rather than MAAS.
