Hello everybody,
I am trying to give Vmware ESXI 5.5U2 a go. I am trying to install it on an old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.
The problem is that I am getting the dreaded Network Card Not Detected.
I must mention that the laptop has an integrated Broadcom BCM4401 network card. Obviousely it is not in the HCL of ESXI and ofcourse I cannot find the driver anywhere.
As a mention, when I run lspci in the ESXI CLI the network card is not displayed just as Broadcom BCM4401, but as Broadcom Dell Corporation, or something similar. I am not sure as to what importance will this detail make, but if it has any, I will add the exact output that I am getting.
Could anybody please help me with any bit of advice/information on this topic? I have been searching for two full days already without any forseable solution.
Thank you very much,
Dan
