Hi, Can somebody help me clarify this, maybee they have tried this already. I am looking at getting the Intel S3210SHLC MB. It is on the Vmware HCL. However it says it does not support the network driver: Intel 82566DM Gigabit NIC not supported by this release. So from the tech specs of the motherboard it says this about the network cards: LAN • One Gigabit Ethernet device (82541PI, MAC + PHY) connect to PCI interfaces on the Intel® ICH9R • One Gigabit Ethernet PHY (82566DM) connected to the Intel® ICH9R through Problem is that the remaining card the: Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller does not mention ESX 4 or 4i. So my question is why would this machine be on the HCL if neither network card is supported under ESXI 4, yet it shows up as a supported system? (I want to know if I need to get an extra 1 network or 2 network cards to make this work with ESXi 4). Hopefully soembody has tried this Thanks, Ward. |
