Hi,
Can somebody help me clarify this, maybee they have tried this already.
I am looking at getting the
Intel S3210SHLC MB.
It is on the Vmware HCL.
However it says it does not support the network driver:
Intel 82566DM Gigabit NIC not supported by this release.
So from the tech specs of the motherboard it says this about the
network cards:
LAN
- One Gigabit Ethernet device (82541PI, MAC + PHY) connect to PCI interfaces
on the Intel® ICH9R
- One Gigabit Ethernet PHY (82566DM) connected to the Intel® ICH9R through
Problem is that the remaining card the:
Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller does not mention ESX 4 or 4i.
So my question is why would this machine be on the HCL if neither network
card is supported under ESXI 4, yet it shows up as a supported system?
(I want to know if I need to get an extra 1 network or 2 network cards
to make this work with ESXi 4).
Hopefully soembody has tried this 
Thanks,
Ward.
