TP-Link TG-3468

[Charlie885]

Hi,

is it possible to install drivers for TP-Link TG-3468 on ESXi 7.0?

I found this manual, but, I have some issues.

I did successfully changing software acceptance to Community Supported, but when I try to execute /full/path/to/net55-r8168-8.039.01-napi. x86_64. vibe I get an error.

[DependencyError]

VIB Realtek_bootbank_net55-r8168_8.039.01-napi requires vmkapi_2_2_0_0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

VIB Realtek_bootbank_net55-r8168_8.039.01-napi requires com.vmware.driverAPI-9.2.2.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

Please refer to the log file for more details.

Depends on whether the driver type is "vmklinux" as opposed to "native".

vSphere 7 hosts only support "native".
