Chelsio N320E on Vmware 6.5

[mrjoli021]

Hello,

I bought a Chelsio N320E-SR and I am trying to connect it to a VMware 6.5 host.  The plan is do a back to back 10GB link for vmotion to another host.  The card is being recognized by VMware but I guess I am missing the drivers for it to work properly.  Does anyone know where I can get drivers for this card?

[root@localhost:~] lspci | grep -i Chelsio

0000:82:00.0 Ethernet controller: Chelsio Communications Inc T320 10GbE Dual Port Adapter

Hi,

Have you tried the procedure on page 9 of the attached manual?

Or

in this post there is an interesting suggestion:

Chelsio t520-cr 10G nic not functional in ESXi 6.7

You can use it as an idea to implement it in version 6.5

All drivers downloadable from the Chelsio official website are here:

it seems that the drivers you are looking for do not exist for Esxi 6.5:
