network card not detected

[vGILL]

Hi All,

I have recently downloaded esxi 6.5 but i cannot install it because it does not detect any of my network adapters. In my personal lab I have many low end amd and intel desktops.

Can someone suggest me work around or any low end intel network adapter that i can buy for the purpose of getting my hands on vmware.

I am new to vmware, please advise.

Regards

Use the HCL to find a suitable NIC.

Thanks for quick response. I have just ordered 82574L chipset adapter as this was the fastest to obtain from amazon.ca

Let's see if this gets recognized.

I had been to HCL a few times but the list is so big that i gave up every time. This time I tried again due to your recommendation, finally found a few.

Thanks again
