It could also be that your NIC driver is included in the ISO file.

If you NIC is supported (on the HCL) then you can just load the correct driver or create a custom ISO (using image builder) with the correct driver added.

Below is a few links you can look at:

ESXi is built for server hardware and may not support you NIC. Which NIC do you have in your system?

see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl
