Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

  • I am phyxers on github.
  • I am r00k (https://keybase.io/r00k) on keybase.
  • I have a public key ASAcK-1MCJjyYdU5og14pCdgiiDSX3qtZSTsjT4N2l7iUgo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

== ESXi on Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI ==
Default driverset of ESXi5.5 doesn't support the Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI onboard Network Controller and SATA Controller. During install you will be stopped on the error "No support network interfaces available".
== Intel NIC drivers ==
To be able to install ESXi you need to add "unofficial" drivers to the install ISO. Gigabyte doesn't really mention which specific Intel Network Controller it is used, but it is the Intel I217-V. To add the drivers. To add the drivers to the install ISO use ESXi-customizer to merge the VIB file (drivers) with the official ESXi ISO.
