      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You do not have to install any of them to use vmxnet3 adapter. Its driver is part of kernel-tree since 2.6.32 and actively maintained. "Tools" (either Open, or VMware) gives you possibility to shutdown cleanly VM from ESXi-host. But if all you are looking for is a way to use vmxnet3, you do not need them...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
