How do I get VMware ESXi 6.0 U2 to work with an Intel PRO/100+ NIC?
Community!
Inserted old Intel PRO/100+ into VMware ESXi 6.0, but it is not in the list of devices.
PCI ID 8086:1229
Q: Any idea how to get old Intel LAN card on ESXI 6.0 U2 (VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build-4192238).
Through the console in ESXi 6.0 is defined (last):
lspci -v | grep "Class 0200" -B 1
0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection [vmnic0]
Class 0200: 8086:10d3

Товарищ, нахрен вам это надо? Гигабитные сетевухи, поддерживаемые вмварью, стоят не так уж дорого. Купите нормальную железку, и не надо возиться с драйверами. А то потом будут вопросы в духе: "а почему у меня виртуалки тупят и гипервизор периодически виснет/перезагружается?". Если вопрос цены -- БУ сетевушки продаются в количестве ведь.
В продолжении темы, было написано несколько писем:
1. Первое Andreas Peetz (идейный вдохновитель проекта www.v-front.de).
2. Другое в Intel, где я просил драйвер к сетевой карте Intel PRO/100+

Hi,
thank you for your message! Unfortunately I do not have an ESXi driver for the Intel Pro 100 card available, and I’m sorry to say that you will probably not be able to find someone who has a such a driver or would be willing to develop such a driver.
This network card is now really very old and it is capable of 100 Mbit/s only (which is not really suitable for virtualization). I suggest that you try to get a recent Intel Gigabit card which can use the e1000 driver. Such cards are very affordable today (~20 EUR).
Best regards
Andreas Peetz

VMWare drivers come from VMWare and you'll have to contact them directly.
Also, the Ethernet controller on that card has been EOL since 2010 Intel no longer supports it.

Карта действительно очень старая и найти к ней драйвер уже невозможно даже у вендора ее производившего, а без него завести карту на ESXi 6.x не получится.
Выход тут только один (как советовали выше в комментариях) использовать Intel e1000 или любую другую 1Gbps.
