my NIC is
intel(R) 82579LM Gigait Network Connection
i need the VIb file for that drive that work with ESXI 5.1
Instead of trying to find a driver for the NIC, I'd rather suggest you consider getting a supported network adapter. Even if you can find a driver now, you might run into issues with each future update/patch you apply.

I'd be nervous about following that link as opposed to taking a.p.'s advice.
