luminalflux posted:Why dual instead of quad port? Quad is the default when I order a GbE network card for a server You can get really cheap Intel dual-port NICs that are super compatible with VMware; quad-port NICs tend to be more than 2x (sometimes as high as 5x) expensive.

Literally don't ever order Broadcom NICs and always demand Intel NICs. That's it. Otherwise you will eventually (or immediately) have problems. Somebody will want to install a new build and stuff will just not work.

Martytoof posted:Can someone recommend a budget dual PCIe gig NIC that is either supported by ESXi 5.5+ or has a VIB that can be easily added in? I can confirm that these work 100% with ESXi 5.5u1: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Ethernet-PCI-express-Controller-SY-PEX24028/dp/B00965J4TS If you add in the Realtek VIB. http://www.vladan.fr/realtek-8169-nics-not-detected-under-esxi-5-5/
