Esxi intel 82571eb driver

I have not made any more tries on the igb driver yet. If I do in the future I will update the blog. Thank you very much for this awesome instructions. As you can see both drivers are not part of the most recent ESXi release 5. Congrats on the new build. As you correctly identified, both the ee and the igb needs to be upgraded to more recent versions. However, I tried two different vib files with two different versions of the igb driver but none of them managed to give support to the I NIC.

The ee driver for the I have worked very well for me. Great find on how to package a custom driver. I had not found a way to pack a more recent version of neither the ee or igb driver. If I find more time to play with the Extreme6 I will attempt to try a later igb version. Thank you for your drivers, but how to build ee drivers for ESXi? I have a motherboard with x7db8 Supermitsro. The onboard controller of that motherboard seems to be Intel EB. I suggest you try to integrate the ee as I have described in the article and see if solves the issue.

So that worked for me. As you said, the ee driver is easy to get working for the I NIC. I realize that I have only tried unofficial igb drivers versioned 5. I will try the 4. I got the chance to try the 4.

Customizing an original ESXi 5. For me, it only shows up as a PCI-e device. Any one have any pointers thanks. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to work yet either. Great job — thanks! Regards, Aladdin. Worked for me. Asrock z87 extreme 4. Just needed the e driver. Thank you very much for your post! Any ideas where I can find the driver for this? Reading the description, i thought net-ee I have no idea as of now. I used the ee 2.

Both wont work. I started an ubuntu livedisc and checked if the nics will work. Great question and very good investigation. This got me thinking about some things I have read before regarding custom drivers and I did some more research into it. Right now, I only have access to a ESXi 5. It will print out something like: lspci -v grep Network -A1 I have managed to get ESXi 5. Any luck with this?

If it will help I can boot a live linux dvd and dump the PCI info. Yes, it seems to work fine using 5. Thank you very much for the information. Unfortunately, I do not have a board to actually test this out. Not to push you who have the this board, but if you have another supported NIC and the possibility to install ESXi and show what the output is from lspci.

I have esxi 5. The 15a1 device ID was not present in the ee drivers, so I also created a VIB to add them per the procedure linked from your blog. Pingback: esxi 5. Thanks in advance….. Help please.. I tried a building a Custom 5. Love to see this work. Doing a quick search reveals that your board has the I NIC.
