    Hi All,

    I have recently downloaded esxi 6.5 but i cannot install it because it does not detect any of my network adapters. In my personal lab I have many low end amd and intel desktops.

    Can someone suggest me work around or any low end intel network adapter that i can buy for the purpose of getting my hands on vmware.

    I am new to vmware, please advise.

    Regards

    Sarbjit

    Use the HCL to find a suitable NIC.

    Thanks for quick response. I have just ordered 82574L chipset adapter as this was the fastest to obtain from amazon.ca

    Let's see if this gets recognized.

    I had been to HCL a few times but the list is so big that i gave up every time. This time I tried again due to your recommendation, finally found a few.

    Thanks again
