Thanks for quikly answer.

Sorry but I have some problem to install it, because my NIC is not in list of installation. So I would like to try to compile the drivers.

It might be like Linux 2.6.x, but I would to be sure.

dear sacden,

It mean ESXi does not have any console like ESX (Featuring of Linux kernel), so compiling a driver for NIC will be of no use, pls check with NIC vendor for compiled driver for ESXi 4.1.
