Hello,

I have looked around the forum regarding ESX 3.0.1 support for Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter and i wonder if someone knows if it's supported or not.

Best regards

it isn't officially supported - but most Intel Desktop cards work.

Just try it out

Okay but the thing is i don't want to buy several nics if it don't work; but have you tested one Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter?

Thanks for the quick reply

I've tested a Pro/1000 Deskop Adapter but NOT the GT.

If you want to buy NICs that without a doubt work buy the one's listed in the HCL.

Yes, the PRO/1000 GT Desktop does work, I have one running in a whitebox and it is detected as...

04:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05)

The cards are detected, but are they actually working for anybody? Mine are not.
