I found the information in this thread very heplful, along with the information found in http://www.vm-help.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3558&p=13787#p13787. However, I have one problem. My motherboard has two Marvell 88e8057 NICs that I have gotten to load and when I list with lspci I can see that they are assigned vmnic1 & vmnic2. They do not however, show up when I list with esxcfg-nics -l, which only shows the Broadcom NIC I have also installed in the system to be able to install esxi at all. I should add that I am using ESXi 5.0 U2.
Can anybody provide me with any helpful tip or how I should proceed in finding the problem?
*Update* Tried with ESXi 5.1 and didn't get any vmnic with the same procedure.
