ESX 3.5 Update 2 Vmxnet Driver and Windows Server 2008 64-Bit

[BankIT]

Is the vmxnet driver officially supported for Windows Server 2008 x64 in ESX 3.5 Update 2? I have found references that it is not supported in prior releases and that Update 2 has better support for server 2008, but no specific mention of vmxnet compatibility.

I currently have the driver installed and operational with Jumbo Frames in Windows Server 2008 x64 and working without problems so far...

Hopefully someone can clear up the official support question so I can move this Server into production use.

Since ESX supports vmxnet, and Since U2 supports Windows 2008, we can assume that Windows 2008 64-bit has FULL support for vmxnet. That would make sense.
