Joining the concert,
Fresh new install 5.1 from scratch (no previous 5.0)
First had to purchase an external NIC as on motherboard Packard ixtreme NIC is
not recognised which force Esxi OS installation procedure to stop.
Bought very common TP-Link TG-3468 NIC, install can be done, but just
like you guys no network connectivity.
So i followed the procedure to install net-e1000 and net-e1000e drivers but unlucky, still network KO !
TP-Link TG-3468 NIC is not in the compatibility list but did though it would work with a generic driver.
Anbody know if exist an ESXi 5.0 or 5.1 NIC driver that work with my TP-Link TG-3468 NIC card ?
Alternativly which cheap and easy to find NIC would you advise me to get that can work with driver net-e1000/e?
Thanks
Jean
