We've used 82599 on the normal 5.5 kernel no problems (2.0.44-k2). With the 5.6 kernel (-238) you get: 2.0.84-k2
Does not seem to work with our variant. CentOS driver:

There are more than one NIC-model with 82599EB and evidently not all work with the CentOS driver. What we're using successfully is X520-DA2:
