Hardware compatibility of the virtual appliance

Hi,

I would like to build a virtual appliance (with windows 2008 OS) with our product installed/configure in it. I built it on a virtual machine on ESXi5.0 server (having Intel Network driver) and exported it as a OVF file.

Later tried to import the OVF file, on WorkStation 6.5(having Broadcom driver). It installed successfully, but the network adaptor was not recongnized, due to which unable to connect to network.

My doubt is , how to achive the hardware indendence for the virtual appliacne. Can't I deploy this appliacne on any type of hardware ? OR do I need to change any thing to get this work ?

Thanks in advance.
