Has someone a recipe to run the fling on ESXi7.0U3 with a delock usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter with the AX88179 chip ?
The vendor delock isn't mentioned in requirements.
Export-esximageprofile on ESXi-7.0U3g-20328353-standard ended with the following issue.
Export-EsxImageProfile : Error retrieving file for VIB 'VMW_bootbank_vmkusb-nic-fling_1.10-1vmw.703.0.50.55634242': ("<zipfile.ZipExtFile name='vib20/vmkusb-nic-fling/VMW_bootbank_vmkusb-nic-fling_1.10-1vmw.703.0.50.55634242.vib' mode='r'

Successfully tested an ISY Adapter IAD-1025 USB-C 6-in-1. It is recognized as RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (0bda:8153).
The nifty thing on this adapter is that the included "General USB Audio Device" (1b3f:2008) already is eligible to be configured as a new vm usb device!
For the sake of completeness the additional built-in usb devices 1a40:0801 (Terminus Technology inc.), 2109:0822 and 2109:2822 (VIA Labs, Inc.) aren't eligible.
