VT6105/VT6106S and ESXI 5

I managed to make things with DGE-528T but not with this VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III]

~ # lspci | grep Net
000:006:01.0 Network controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III]
000:006:02.0 Network controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [vmnic1]
000:007:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet [vmnic0]

D-Link DFE-520TX

Can someone show me how to make this work.

Thanks.

does esxcfg-nics -l shows the device VT6105/VT6106S and ESXI 5

and can you confirm if the driver is really loaded by vmkload_mod -l

Guys, i just removed it and use the DGE 1GB NIC instead...

I ony relied on this to check if it was loaded or not.

~ # lspci | grep Net
000:006:01.0 Network controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III]
000:006:02.0 Network controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [vmnic1]
000:007:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet [vmnic0]

But it doesnt appear in VSphere client.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys.
