Fail to install driver on ESXI 8.0 Update 2 #24

Closed galvesribeiro closed 6 months ago

Hello!

I'm trying to install this driver so I can get my motherboard 10G NIC to work on ESXI 8. The motherboard is an ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI which has a "Marvell® AQtion 10Gb Ethernet".

I've download the latest release on GitHub net670-atlantic-v2.2.3.0-esxi1.6.x86_x64.vib but when I try to install it I get this:

[root@GUTO-ESX-01:/vmfs/volumes/65d24748-e2d54ccc-b4a8-e89c25277298] esxcli software vib install -f -v ${PWD}/net670-atlantic-v2.2.3.0-esxi1.6.x86_x64.vib
 [ProfileValidationError]
 In ImageProfile (Updated) ESXi-8.0U2-22380479-standard, the payload(s) in VIB Aquantia_bootbank_net-atlantic_v2.2.3.0-esxi1.6 does not have sha-256 gunzip checksum. This will prevent VIB security verification and secure boot from functioning properly. Please remove this VIB or please check with your vendor for a replacement of this VIB
 Please refer to the log file for more details.

I've already set the acceptance level to CommunitySupported. Do I need anything else?

Thank you!

Hi, @galvesribeiro ESXi8 should have support of Marvell AQtion devices based on AQC107 chips. You dont need to install this driver. This driver uses legacy mode of linux like drivers support. It's not supported by modern ESXi kernels anymore (was introduced somewhere starting 6+ kernel)

Hi @dimbez.

That is good. However, that motherboard has two NICs, one Intel 2.5G and that AQtion 10Gb. The Intel works just fine, but the AQtion is never detected :(

@galvesribeiro it might be AQC113 based device. Please share PCIe device ID of your AQtion device.

Just booted a live linux ISO and lspci tells me it is a"AQC113CS NBase-T/IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet Controller [AQtion]" with device id 94C0.

Unfortunately aqc113 based devices are not supported.

Ok :( Thank you!
