BCM5717 in HP Microserver G8

Hi,

Quite new to Vmware, played around with workstation in the past.

Have run up ESXi 5.5 on this G8 previously and it has worked fine. However now I try to install ESXi 6.7 it fails to find the internal network interfaces. Solved it by adding a single Intel card, and have since tried installing the drivers I managed to find in a VIB file (VMW-ESX-6.5.0-ntg3-4.1.2.0-5562451) this was allegedly as far as I could tell the right driver. Installed via the shell and followed the instruction within the zip file. Seemed to install fine, however the internal interfaces are still not seen.

Any pointers please for a newbie? And please don't tell me it is not a compatible server! Beginning to work that out for myself. But slightly confused why 5.5 worked happily? And hoping that someone has a work around. Only want this as a test lab machine.

Best wishes Paul
