It works for me with 82576 (don't have 82575 to test) and 8.2

You should know, however, there are many requirements for multiple queues to work:
you need MSI-X capable motherboard, your traffic needs to be TCP/UDP inside plain IP.
No load distribution for PPPoE/GRE/etc. in this hardware (blame Microsoft RSS specs).
