August 10, 2017 Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 with VMWARE ESXI 6.5 When I setup ESXI 6.5 I found one of my network cards was not found. I could see that ESXI was aware of it by listing the adapters from the command line: lspci -v| grep -A1 -i eithernet This solution will work but does require you to allow ESXI to use Community Supported VIB's. If your happy with this, here it goes: Run this from the command line: esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported You should then be told the host acceptance level has changed. Esxcli software vib install -d -n net55-r8168 Now reboot the host. You should now see it under the physical NIC's. Realtek cards aren't a good hardware option for things like ESXi.

Now, for those who are new with ESXi 6 and stuffs, I have created an ISO with latest ESXi 6 which is patched with Realtek 8168, Realtek 8169 & DLink DGE-528T Drivers. Just install the ISO using your pen drive or a CD and all your supported NICs will be detected automatically. Aashiq banaya hot song.
