There's no plans for an ESXi 8.0 version of this driver
No, the ones added are consumer devices and hence why the driver is needed. It is also non-trivial to release these drivers for each release, especially with changes in major releases. I just want to remind folks that these are Flings, there's no guarantee of future compatibility and/or updates. So I want to make sure folks understand and have right expectations as sometimes its simply "assumed" that these are managed like real products :)
I'll drop a note to Engr folks to see if there's anything that can be done but from what I've seen, the usage of this particular Fling has been pretty low compared to others
The brand and model of the NVME i'm using is Asgard AN3 2TNVMe-M.2/80
The vid is "0x126f" which is shown as supported in the requirements page. However, i can't find the pid for my nvme.
Just wondering if it's still supported with just the vid information?
When trying to add community package into esxi 6.7u3 (or any version of 6.7) i get the following error output:

Hi, does this work with ESXi 8, or do we need to wait for an updated version?
Thanks
