Is your NIC on the supported list under Requirements? Did you build a new ESXi image that contains the required driver?
Hello Everybody,
I have given really big efort and created my custom image
I bought ASIX AX88179 usb adapter too.
But again I had an error as below, Please help me.
The boot is almost completed and at the last second I had this,
cpu0:131309) 1292: Unable to obtain a NIC Mac address for UUID generation. Will use a face MAC.
Please add/configure a supported NIC.
cpu1:131309)UHVMKSyscall: 1924: There are no supported network interfaces on th,s host
Jumpstart plugin late-filesystem activation failed.

Is there a way to install vspehre from scratch with these driver? I mean, there's no vsphere installed because there's no network card detected so I want to add an USB network card to install it....
Yes, this is a common process that if you need additional drivers, you'll create a new ESXi image w/required drivers. You can do so using https://williamlam.com/2021/03/easily-create-custom-esxi-images-from-patch-releases-using-vsphere-image-builder-ui.html or https://williamlam.com/2022/11/creating-custom-esxi-images-using-vsphere-lifecycle-manager-vlcm-ui-and-powercli-cmdlets-for-vsphere-8.html or https://williamlam.com/2022/02/how-to-create-a-customized-esxi-iso-without-vcenter-server.html
If you've got CDC-enabled USB devices, then it'll just work OOTB https://williamlam.com/2022/02/usb-network-adapters-without-using-the-usb-network-native-driver-for-esxi.html and you can install driver once ESXi is installed.
Again, this isn't a new workflow if you're familiar with ESXi
Thanks! The problem I was trying that process with 6.7 and I always get "not image profile found" and I supposed that the problem was that it works only for updates on pre-installed systems.
But now I decided to get an USB card to install vsphere 8 so before purchesing it I want to be sure I could fresh install it.
Thanks again
Hello,
I really need help figuring this thing out.
I am running Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 that I just bought, and wanted to run vmware EsXi 8.0 standard in it, and I am getting no network adapter detected. I have looked everywhere for an answer, and no luck so far. Any guidance will be helpful knowing that this is new to me as well.
Thanks In advance.
