Esxi 6.0 gigabyte motherboard "no network card"

well,

first of all, it is my first homelab wtih esxi/sphere, I tried in the wmworkstation and works fine, but when I tried in my "home server",  the msg "no compatible network adapter found".

my setup,

intel i3

16gb DDR3

mb gigabyte h87m-d3h

adp network realtek pcie GBE

the better solution that I found, is "buy a good intel card"

but instead I found this tutorial for esxi 4.1:

http://www.v-front.de/2014/12/how-to-make-your-unsupported-nic-work.html

doesn't worked for me, but I wanna know if you  guys, have another solution that "buy another card"???

ps: I searched a little before of ask.

ps2: where I live is so dificult to find a good card, for good money, at least of 10x than dolar countries.

best regards,
