    Just tried the latest VMware ESXi 6.5u1 ISO and the VMware-ESXi-6.5U1-RollupISO.iso with the Intel Atom C3000 series "Denverton" using onboard 10GbE: Since U1 was released about three weeks ago, it looks like there is going to be some time where one needs to slipstream new Intel drivers into...
