And a clean install with 6.5 U2 with upgrade does.For many years, Intel's Gigabit Ethernet chips have been the backbone of all ROG, and occasionally ASUS and TUF motherboards.

Name PCI Device Driver Admin Status Link Status Speed Duplex MAC Address MTU Description Update : A clean install with ESXi-6.7.0-20190104001-standard is still not detecting this NIC, unless upgraded from 6.5 U2. Or that it will be supported native in ESXi 6.7 some day. Let’s hope that the future will be the same. I have tested this with the current latest version, ESXi-6.7.0-20180804001-standard. So I decided to install ESXi 6.5 U2, and update to 6.7 afterwards. lspci -v | grep "Class 0200" -B 1Ġ000:00:1f.6 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-VĠ000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection Īccording to VMWare this card (Specific the version with device ID 15bc) is native supported in ESXi 6.5 U2 but not in 6.7: My version is probably generation 7 (Hence the (7) in the name below), which has vendor/device ID: 8086: 15bc. So no problem, right? Untill I installed ESXi 6.7 and had only 1 network card available.Īs it appears Intel created different I219V’s “generations” in the past years. This board has 2 network interfaces, the Intel I211AT and an Intel I219V. So I also needed a new motherboard: ASRock H370M-ITX/ac. My current motherboard’s chipset was only able to handle 6th and 7th gen and I wanted to upgrade to the Intel i5-8400 8th gen. Recently I begun with the upgrade of my VMWare server, running on an Intel i3-6100 6th gen. A free tip for people with a (to new?) Intel I219V (Or Intel I219-V for search results □
