).Īs you can see both drivers are not part of the most recent ESXi release 5.5īy the way, here’s a really good guid on how to package your own driver version: You’ll need at least e1000e in version 2.5. I217V – Not officially supported by VMWare, but there’s a community packaging tool to build the appropriate driver. Here’s the official VMWare driver package for this igb version. I211AT – Supported by igb as of 4.2.16 ( ) So far what I’ve found out about the ESXi drivers for the 2 ethernet controllers: Thank you very much for this awesome instructions. Next week I’m going to build a rather similar system using the very same Asrock Z87 Extreme6. This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Driver, ESXi, ESXi iso, Hardware, Live CD, NIC by Robert Kihlberg. Either way, let me know in the comments below! This is what the ESXi-Customizer looks like for me.

Burn the ISO to a disc or make a bootable USB out of it.

(I have read both suggestions both for and against. The newest e1000e driver I can find on the Internet is:Ĭredit goes to the following site: Using the ESXi-Customizer I will only demonstrate how to get the e1000e driver to work, simply because I have not yet found a newly compiled version of the igb driver.

Intel® Ethernet Controller I211 Series, igb driver.

Intel® Ethernet Connection I217-V, e1000e driver.

The ASRock Z87 Extreme6 board, that will be used in this example, have the following two controllers: – e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz driver supports all Intel® 8254x-based PCI and PCI-X Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections.įurthermore, the drivers for ESXi needs to be recompiled from the above versions. – igb-x.x.x.tar.gz driver supports all Intel® 82575/6-, 82580-, I350-, or I210/1-based Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections. The latest version and earlier versions of this driver are available from SourceForge. Here is an excerpt from Intel’s website:Į1000e.x.x.x.tar.gz is designed to work with the Intel® 8 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, 8/4/7/8/9, 82583 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and I217/I218 controllers under Linux*. Some desktop controllers use the igb driver though. from what I understand, the igb drivers are mostly for server NICs and the e1000 drivers for desktop NICs.

Intel seems to have two lines of drivers for Linux, igb and e1000.

When it comes to what driver to include I have to be honest to report that I have not been able to fully figure it out. To be able to perform the driver inclusion the following tools are needed: Adding or updating a driver directly in the ESXi ISO solves this issue.

However, to install ESXi from the beginning requires at least one supported network controller. There are ways to add support for a NIC after ESXi has been installed. Most of the motherboards I have presented here on this blog ( ASRock Z87 Extreme6, ASRock Z77 Pro4-M, Intel DQ77KB, Intel DQ77MK) have had unsupported network controllers. Using new hardware with not-yet supported or unsupported drivers is often required when using consumer grade and/or desktop components.
