Intel 82574L with esxi 7.0

[huchord]

Looking to get this for my desktop:

Appears to be supported in esxi7.0:

VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search

but just because the driver exists on the HCL doesn't necessarily mean that it will be included in the esxi GA bits, correct?

Not interested in building a customer ISO.

Just don't know if there are any caveats.

Correct. Also, keep in mind that because 7.0 is so new, some entries on the HCL are not fully accurate. You should take that into consideration before buying, and if possible wait for a while.
