      <title>Is E1000 network adapter no longer supported for ESXi 6.5?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The E1000 was previously supported for ESXi 6.5, 6.7 and 7.0 and still works fine for our (on-prem) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 systems.&amp;nbsp; It is mentioned as a supported NIC for these systems in VMware's documentation such as:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-702-virtual-machine-admin-guide.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-702-virtual-machine-admin-guide.pdf&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, I've been asked to confirm that the E1000 is still supported since it is not listed in the Guest OS Compatibility Guide:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/pdf/VMware_GOS_Compatibility_Guide.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;VMware_GOS_Compatibility_Guide.pdf&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Server Service Pack 3 for ESXi 6.5 (6.7 and 7.0)?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
