You can also go to VMware Compatibility Guide: System Search select your product release version in my case it was ESXi 5.0 U1 then over in the section of where it says VID and DID enter that information in.  You can get that information from the ESXi shell.

 

From the shell type

~ # vsish

/> cat /net/pNics/vmnicX/properties - X is the nic that is not showing up

properties {

   Driver Name:tg3

Put the vendor and Device ID 14e4 and 1657 into the search and then update and view results.  Upload those drivers to your datastore.  From your shell type: esxcli software vib install -l /vmfs/volumes/<datastore>/<filename>

 

That will install your drivers.
