Thank you.

Mr. ichi,
You made my day/week/month!! Thanks a lot. I can now confirm that these drivers will work on an ASRock 880GMH/U3S3 motherboard, which uses the AR8151 chipset running ESX 5.0.
Mr. ichi, I guess we all appreciate the contribution you give to the community. I would gladly help you convert the current ESX 4.0 drivers. Could you give me some hints on how you made this great piece of work?
Regards
Martin

Mr.vmmaddin,

ESXi 5 has almost no difference in ESXi 4, driver sources, or the procedure to compile.

Mr.pigeonstriker's source is compiled this time also and only the portion of INIT_WORK used as an error is actually modifing Mr.Serge's source to reference.

CentOS 5.7 is used for the environment to compile and the procedure is referring to the following.
Of course, a source file uses ESXi5.0's.

http://www.kernelcrash.com/blog/using-a ... 009/08/22/

When using the driver source of kernel, the version of the 2.6.26 neighborhood is tried.
If the source with which this forum is provided is modified to reference and it is it errorless coming out, I actually load the portion out of which an error comes after compile.

When a driver cannot be loaded, the portion used as an error is corrected and re-tried by the following command.

cat /var/log/vmkwarning.log | grep atl1e

Although it does not actually have sufficient knowledge to compile in itself, I have got this forum to help.

HOW should I install the 8139TOO.tgz drivers on a esxi5 installed on a usb pendrive?

Its done thank you

Hi, ichi,

I tried your 8139 driver, "lspci" showed

000:002:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet [vmnic0]
000:007:05.0 Network controller: Realtek RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [vmnic1]

but "esxcfg-nics -l" did show the vmnic1

~ # esxcfg-nics -l
Name PCI Driver Link Speed Duplex MAC Address MTU Description
vmnic0 0000:02:00.00 r8168 Up 100Mbps Half 14:da:e9:4e:03:ef 1500 Realtek Realtek 8168 Gigabit Ethernet

The module "8139too" seemed loaded, as

~ # esxcfg-module -l | grep 8139
8139too 0 32

however the module wasn't seen as I did "lspci -p"

000:002:00.0 10ec:8168 1043:8432 11/ 11/0x59 A V r8168 vmnic0
000:007:05.0 10ec:8139 10ec:8139 11/ / A V vmnic1


What can I do?

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!

Mr. mingfa

Sorry, since there is no server using 8139too now, a cause cannot be investigated in detail.

Do you suspect IRQ conflict and can perform carving at the time of removing other devices?

Is the following condition resembled?

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/335038

Best regards.

Thanks ichi,

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think there is an IRQ conflict.

Yes, the problem is quite similar to that thread. Just wonder if there is any standard procedure to diagnose this problem.

Never mind, I can simply buy another NIC which has Realtek 8168/8169 chip instead.

Mingfa

hello brothers. please share DLink-528T-1.x86_64.vib driver. thx

Hello

Have you tried to download R8169-1.tgz ( found the first page ) ?

Then in this post you can find a converter viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3272
