I have installed esx 3.5 on a HP 580 G5
There is a 4 port riser nic using e1000 driver and the two onboard ports using bnx2 drivers.
You can see the switch and vmnic config below.
esxcfg-vswitch -l

I have checked serveral times now on the physical switches and can confirm that the ports are trunked to the correct vlans,
however I am having a moment, or there is a bug in the VC client.
Vswitch0 when interegating the nics shows the bnx2 nic as all vlan networks shown, however the e1000 nics only show V15s ip range
followed by a ",".
Any ideas?
