PCi ids covered: 11ab:4320 Marvell Technologies, Inc. 88E8001 PCI-E Gigabit Ehternet Controller Just upload it to your bootbank and add the --- net-skge.v00 -- on boot.cfg Its a bit big on size (debug) so, maybe ill recompile another / release.

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded Testing this on a ESXi computer with a A8V Deluxe mainboard. Gimmie a few days.
I had to add skge in ESXi 4.0, to install that. So it should work in 5.0. Will let you know.

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded Fail.
Not the driver's fault. I don't have a LAHF and SAHF CPU, it seems.

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded I am trying to add the 1148:4320 card to this driver, which is a AT-2916T card with the 88e8001 chip.
But when I try to extract the driver to change the drivers map file, I keep getting "invalid tar magic" errors.
Any idea what could cause this?
I checked in the logs and I can see the driver being loaded and I can find its files in the correct locations (and can vi the skge map file, but its read only)
So it appears to work correctly, I just can't extract it to add extra mappings.

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded hi Astharoth,
please tell me, how to convert (?) your "net-skge.v00" file to a *.vib?
because ESXi-Customizer-v2.7 can add only *.vib files.
Thnx

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded If you can extract the files from v00 you can build a vib with this - http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/11/29 ... vib-files/_________________Dave Mishchenko VMware vExpert 2009-2012  Now available - VMware ESXi: Planning, Implementation, and SecurityAlso available - vSphere Quick Start Guide

Re: Driver for Marvell 88E8001 (skge) (edited, file uploaded mr_zorg, any luck converting the .v00 file to a .vib? If so, would you mind uploading your .vib so I can use/test it?
