Update to former post. The results of
esxcli software vib list
are
net-e1000 8.0.3.1-2vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware VMwareCertified 2013-03-15
net-e1000e 1.1.2-3vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware VMwareCertified 2013-03-15
net-igb 2.1.11.1-3vmw.510.0.0.799733 VMware VMwareCertified 2013-03-15
Then I had a look into the zip archive, there I find a file called
intel_bootbank_net-igb_4.0.17.vib
I assume, that the later is a replacement for the net-igb package that is already installed on my system. But according to ethtool this driver is not used anyway, but the net-e1000e package in version 1.1.2? Are my assumptions correct? If yes, why should it help to replace a package that is not used anyway?
