VMware Esxi 6 Raid issue?

Hi,
 
How can I get VMware ESXi 6.0 to recognize my Adaptec 7805 raid card after I have installed the ESXi server.
 
Any steps. I tried meging the drivers with the ESX custom installer tool but did not seem to pick up the card.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think so for both

The server is an Intel 5000PSL server it says 5.x but does not specifically mention 6 ?

And the raid card is mentioned on 5.1

Thanks,

Ward

Well if no mention of 6.0 it's not compatible.

but did you use the driver I found, is this your card, have you tried this driver?
