Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad PCIe doesn't work...

[jbsengineer]

Just an FYI. There were some threads about this but I couldn't find them.

We got some new Dell 2950's in with the PCIe architecture. With Intel having the new Quad PCIe NIC we decided to wing it and see if it wouldn't atleast work in our test labs. From what I've read it's the same chipset. However it doesn't work. ESX won't load a driver for it.

So my question is how do I let VMware know that atleast I would love to see it supported in the next release?

Hi!.

I did see you have experience in patch drivers for network.

I have a inboard 82566dc-2 (intel 8086:294c). esxi is not working. I did try change hwdata and simple.map, with e1000 and another drivers, and, don't work.

I did try download the ddk from www.vmdev.net, but the site is not working, now.

Can you help me?

I have experience building/porting drivers, but, I need the environment to compile the sources.

TIA
