So you are trying to install ESXi on desktop and it doesn't recognize embeded NIC.

You have to install a NIC which ESXi supports.

What is supported you can see in HCL VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search

Or check some advices

Cheap PCI/PCIe NIC cards that work with esxi 6.x & esxi 5.x
