ESXi 5 and M71KR-E

[baldwinmatt]

I'd like to upgrade my ESX hosts to ESXi 5 from ESXi 4.1 but it seems that this adapter (M71KR-E) isn't on the HCL.  Has anyone had any luck with getting 5 to work?

Hi Matt,

Since the adapter is not on he supported HCL list for the OS we'll suggest not to run this (even if it works) since this will be an unsupported configuration.

As far as I remember there are neither inbox drivers for the m71kr-* adapters nor can they be installed individually.
