Nested Install NIC's

I am trying to configure a nested install of ESXi 4.1 within a 4.1 environment. My problem is the 4.1 VM will only show a single NIC. The physical host has two NIC's, but no matter what I do to the VM only a single NIC will show up. Is there anything else I can try?

I should've done a little more research before posting my question. I changed promiscuous mode to "Accept" on the port group for the physical host, and now my nested install can see multiple NIC's.

>>> "... but no matter what I do ..."

What did you do? Basically the virtual network adapters (Model: E1000) configured for the virtual machine should show up in the VM.
