Nov 17, 2016. I had several folks ask me about an updated USB 3.0 Ethernet Driver for ESXi 6.5, similiar to what I had created for ESXi 5.5 and 6.0. Your system has rebooted, it should now automatically load the USB Ethernet driver and you should see your USB Ethernet Adapter as shown in the screenshot below. Jul 17, 2012. HP has created a vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) depot for all sort of important HP driver bundles for VMware vSphere 5 and higher. The VIP depot contains: HP ESXi 5.0 Management Providers bundle – includes the latest HP Common Information Model (CIM) Providers, HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO).

Background / Problem • I have two new servers (Dell R720 & Dell R520) that I plan to install ESXi onto. • During the VMWare Hypervisor installation, I'm told that no network adapters exist. • Upon checking, I realized that the Broadcom NetXtreme I drivers are required additionally • I have obtained the Broadcom driver software bundle from VMWare's web site • I have installed PowerCLI on my desktop in case I will need it. Question Most ESXi guides describe doing this on a server that's already been set up once, but I am installing ESXi on these boxes for the first time. • How do I properly get these network card drivers into the installation process? • I am under the impression that I may need to configure a custom installation package that includes these drivers (and use PowerCLI to do this) -- if so, how do I best go about doing this?
