Would you please check if the host in Maintenance Mode or not? As 'Instructions'

Step 2 - Place the ESXi host into Maintenance Mode using the vSphere UI or CLI (e.g. esxcli system maintenanceMode set -e true)

Yup. That's the first thing I did and it returns it is enabled..

Would you please share the vmkernel.log for analysis and build number(vmware -vl), so I can check more on my side? Thanks!

Thanks arod!

From the log, it seems the vmkusb_nic_fling has already installed successfully, and loaded.
I only see xhci is working as expected, but no device claimed.
Is there any USB NIC device plugged on the host?
Thanks,
Songtao

Yeh, it is. Currently the module supports RTL8153 (Gagibit), but not RTL8152 (100M). We will add it in the supported list in next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
