Can you point me to a set of instructions that work for installing this nic to work with ESXi (as opposed to ESX)? Thank you in advance!!! Hello Patrick, Brian, et. al,

I have this same problem with the Intel ET Quad Ethernet Adapter with chipset 82576 but with ESXi 4.0.

Can you point me to a set of instructions that work for installing this nic to work with ESXi (as opposed to ESX)?

Thank you in advance!!!

It worked for my Intel Quad NIC cards (don't quite know the chipset, but tried it anyway as I didn't have anything on my ESXi 4.0 Server). God bless you! you saved me from a ton of trouble.

Hopefully InBox support for the new Quad Port Intel NICs will be forthcoming soon and this will be just a distant memory of a challenge. :-) We are glad that the information has proved useful.
