I am new to vmware. I try to install ESXi 4.1 on a new pc but during the startup it saids that the ethernet NIC is not in the hardware compatibility list. Is there a way around this?<br />
<br />
Since it starts linux, can I perhaps find a driver for linux and load that as a parameter during the bootup (press Tab)?<br />

Install ESXi even if the network card is not supported?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
