Issues with ESXi 5U1 (623860) and Intel NIC 82579LM on W520
After a successful installation of Chilly's 1.0 vib package on a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 I played a little around and found some problem that I want share with you:
1) I cannot change the network speed from 100 Mbit to 1000 Mbit. If i try to change it, the VIClient returns an error and the driver does not work anymore. I need to reinstall the whole stuff again.
2) If I connect two boxes via a direct wired ethernet cable (e.g. 82579LM (ESXi) and 82577LM (Windows). The 82579LM driver does not open the port even if the link is up and the green led is on. Pinging from the client side ends in "... Destination Host is unreachable." If I try another box with a Marwell Yukon NIC everything works smooth.
