Hi,
maybe. How do I find the version of the driver I am running? If I type
ethtool -i vmnic0
on the CLI, then I get
driver: e1000e
version: 1.1.2-NAPI
firmware-version: 1.9-0
If 1.1.2 is the correct version and 4.0.17 is the version of the driver you pointed me to, then I do not run the new driver. But I do not know, if these numbers can be compared.
Second, how do I install that new driver? Is the zip file a depot file and can be installed via
esxcli software vib install --depot=/path/to/zip/file
?
Remember, I use the free version of the ESXi.
Thank you, Matthias
