ESXi5 - CentOS: How to get a passthrough network card working.

[RimBlock]

Hi,

I have installed a dedicated network card for a CentOS 5 guest, enabled passthrough in ESXi5, installed the latest VMWare toolset in the guest but do not seem to be able to find the network card.

Any tips or guide on how to get it setup so the Linux OS can use it.

Thanks
RB

ok, my older Intel network card does not play nice with passthrough on ESXI. Jigging the cards around, my new dual port ET has one port assigned and is working great on a new install.

The older GT card is being used by the host for the VMs without passthrough.
