Hi guys,

i'm building my new ESXI whitebox with a h87 motherboard with the Intel I217V onboard. Have tried injecting the drivers from VMware with ESXI-Customizer and nothing is going my way.

Does anyone got this working, then please give me a guiding light.


Best Regards

I am using ESXi 5.5 and i210 NIC. I included the driver package by ESXi-customizer without problem.

I also found a page where the sucessfull integration of i217 is decribed.

I think i have tried that driver, but l'll give a go to night when i get home. Was thinking that i could install a intel pci-e nic and install ESXI and then install the i210 driver directly on the host afterwards.
