Aaron Peeler , I've followed the instruction to add this new NIC to the ESXI , these instruction keep asking about the VID and DID for this NIC but I can't find the VID and DID values in the VMware Compatibility Guide(IO Devises)that appere after using (lspci -n |grep bus number)command , what do you thing is the problem?And Is there another way to add this NIC ESXI? .
I am using ESXI v5.0 and it's not installed on the devise I am using a bootable flash memory. Thank you for your help.
