Which driver must I use
I am running ESX 3.5 (latest update)
I need to install "Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter PCIe x4 - Kit" & therefore install a driver for it.
The server is a Dell powerEdge 2950
Witch driver should I use?

if you have service tag for the server,, then it better you download it from Dell.com
The NIC is available under VMware Compatibility list, just shutdown your ESX 3.5 Host and attach the Quad Port NIC to an available PCIe slot and power on the host.
You would not need any drivers for the NIC to get recognized.

Yea arun is right,, i though you are asking drive for the server itself,,, if you want it using WMware then not required,,

Which ESX version are you using ? ESX or ESXi ?
The reason I am asking this is I have not installed any NIC specific drivers when using ESX 3.5.
ESXi comes with its own set of pre-installed drivers and any new hardware would require driver installation.

On a ESXi it's not possible to install drivers. I am using ESX foundation on this server. 3.5 Update 5

Arunraju, You 're right. But the new ET Quad Port Server Adapter PCIe does not work as a plug and play addaptor. New dirvers need to be added.
