For reference, these are the ne1000 drivers versions used in 7.0 releases: But this problem can be easily solved with the Fling Driver.
#Intel nuc network driver update#
The ne1000 driver packed in 7.0 Update 3 still does not work with the Intel I219-V (6) network adapter, which is used in the 8th Gen Bean Canyon NUCs. Additionally, I'm taking a look at the consequences of the recently deprecated USB/SD-Card usage for ESXi Installations and some general Issues in 7.0u3.ĮSXi 7.0 Update 3 with Community Network Driver (8th Gen Bean Canyon / 11th Gen NUC) I've updated my NUC portfolio to check which NUCs are safe to update and what considerations you have to take before installing the update. Luckily there is the great Community Networking Driver for ESXi Fling that adds support for a bunch of network cards and VMKUSB-NIC-FLING always covers your back. Since the deprecation of VMKlinux drivers, there is no option to use Realtek-based NICs, and previous versions had problems with the ne1000 driver. In vSphere 7.0, there are ups and downs with consumer-grade network adapters. Please always keep in mind that this is not an officially supported platform and there might be compatibility issues. If you have Intel NUCs or similar hardware you should be very careful when updating to new ESXi releases as there might be issues. These additions were mainly added due to the feedback from the community but also because these devices were related to the same family of NIC, this is not meant as a general enhancement or support for other network adapters.VMware vSphere ESXi 7.0 Update 3 has been released in October and before you start to deploy it to production, you want to evaluate it in your testing environment or homelab. In addition to enabling the NIC on the Intel NUC 10, we have also added an additional 15 devices which are listed below. I am happy to report that our friend Songtao was able to help with this request. Lastly, a number of folks have also inquired about support for other related Intel I219 network adapters.
#Intel nuc network driver Offline#
UPDATE (02/17/21) - The community ne1000 VIB has been incorporated into the new Community Networking Driver for ESXi Flingįor detailed instructions on incorporating the offline bundle using either the vSphere Image Builder UI or Image Builder with PowerCLI, please refer to this blog post. This solution would allow for both drivers to coexists and more importantly, it is persistent across patching and upgrades of ESXi. Lets choose a different name for the VIB module which removes all the complexity mentioned above. In speaking with Songtao, a VMware Engineer who I worked with on the USB Network Native Driver for ESXi, about this issue and he came up with a very simple solution. A new vSphere Image Profile can also be created that contains both the patch/upgrade you intend to apply along with the modified ne1000 VIB, ensuring that you remove the newer version which may not be ideal as well. An unfortunate side affect after patching or upgrading an ESXi host which contains this modified ne1000 VIB is that it will be replaced by a newer version of the VIB and causes the NIC to no longer be recognized again.Ī quick workaround is to simply re-install the modified ne1000 VIB and network connectivity will be restored which is less than ideal. As many of you know, the onboard Intel NIC (8086:0d4f) found in the 10th generation of the Intel NUC (Frost Canyon) is not automatically recognized by ESXi and requires an updated ne1000 VIB which was released earlier this year.
