Hello,
I'm trying to install ESXi on an Acer Veriton M6630G.
It appears that the onboard NIC on this PC is not natively supported by the ESXi installer. When I try to install ESXi it says "no network adapters found".
According to windows the network adapter is: "Intel i217-lm"
Following instructions found here:

I have successfully injected the following files into a customised ESXi ISO:
net-e1000e-2.3.2.x86_64.vib
igb-4.2.16.3-offline_bundle-1138313.zip
Intel_bootbank_net-igb_4.2.16.3-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.vib
When i try to inject the following file:
igb-4.0.17-890403.zip
i receive the error "Corrupt offline bundle. Illegal Metadata file"
Please can anyone help me with this installer issue? I appreciate that VMWare doesn;t officially support non-server hardware, but this ESXi install is for a home office.
Thanks
