ESXi 6.7 U3 and Realtek NICs (RTL8111C and RTL8105E)

Hello guys!

 

I'm new on VMware world, and I need some help.

I installed ESXi 6.7 U3 but my NICs aren't working correctly.

 

NIC 1: RTL8111C

0000:02:00.0 Network controller Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [vmnic0]

         Class 0200: 10ec:8168

 

NIC 2: RTL8105E

0000:03:00.0 Network controller Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller

         Class 0200: 10ec:8136

 

After some research on the net, I found a driver (net55-r8168) for RTL8111C (10ec:8168) and how to integrate it on ESXi ISO.

It worked well for a couple of hours, then it suddenly disapeared from my system. Couldn't ping my server from my machine, neither ping from the server.

Then I rebooted and it come back... but again, after some time it's gone.

 

Now I don't know what to do with this two nics.

The RTL8111C don't work well as I said, and I couldn't find any driver for the RTL8105E. The last driver for RTL8105E only work up to ESXi 6.0.

 

Drivers used:

RTL8111C - net55-r8168 (https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Net55-r8168)

RTL8105E - net-r8101 (https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Net-r8101) - don't even integrate on ESXi 6.7
