Ne1000 0.8.4-11vmw.703.4231 <- ESXi 7.0 Update 3įor the following NUCs, the Fling driver is required:

For reference, these are the ne1000 drivers versions used in 7.0 releases: But this problem can be easily solved with the Fling Driver. 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. 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.
