All,
What was done :
P2V migration into ESX 3.0.1 (using VC 2.x). The old physical server was running Windows server 2000. It was upgraded to Server 20003 R2 SP2.
I've searched the forum and I found the below info. I've gone through the steps and I don't see the old Broadcom NIC's.
I'm still getting the "The IP address x.x.x.x you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter."
The only way I could get rid of this was to go through the registry and remove all entries of the old IP. I'm not sure if I'm going to run into problems as a result though. These servers aren't in production yet.
-----------------------
After a physical conversation a number of stale devices will exist in the new virtual machine. These are hardware devices which are no longer required.
Windows 2000 & 2003
To identify which devices are no longer physically installed on your virtual machine, use the Microsoft environment variable devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices. This is explained in the Microsoft article:

1. From the command prompt, type:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
2. Start the search. Type:
start devmgmt.msc
3. From the Device Manager, list the devices.
Select: View > Show hidden devices.
4. Deinstall the listed devices:
Select the device and uninstall it from the Device Manager.
