I have installed ESXI 6.7.0 Update 1 (Build 10764712) as my VM Lab. I have also installed the latest Intel async driver for my Intel I350T2V2 NIC.
Here is my Hardware Spec
Intel Xeon 2126G
Intel Onboard 219-V NIC
Intel NIC I350T2V2
Intel 760P SATA SSD
I download and installed the driver from the official link here:
The following Intel ESXI Drivers have been installed as shown from Putty on my ESXI server:

On the Physical NICs under "Networking" of the ESXI Host, it just show up the onboard Intel NIC, but not the I350T2V2
Under PCI Devices of Hardware Page, the Intel I350 NIC is showed.
It seems ESXI 6.7 can recognized the Intel I350T2V2. I am not sure why it cant catch up on the Physical NICs list. Is there any one can help with this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
