Missing NIC's

Hello everyone,

I've installed vShpere 5 on a server with the following specs:

Supermicro X7DWA

Intel Xeon E5420

8GB

NIC:

- 2 on-board

- 2 Intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Port PCIx

in vSphere client I can only see the onboard NIC's in Networking/Network adapters and they are numberd vmnic4 - vmnic5

however I can see the NIC cards in the advanced settings and even enable passthrough on them.

I had a previous problem with those cards and they lost thier original MAC address after teaming them, but they were running on windows normally anyway.
