Hello, I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P620 with a built-in NIC card AQtion AQN-107 based on the AQC107 Ethernet controller. The card does show in lspci and hardware pci list. The NIC port does not show up in the NIC list. This is the same on both ESXI 7.0U3 and 8.0U2. I did find a message in the log messages in vmkwarning.log from Atlantic saying the Fw version is not supported. I updated the NIC firmware from 4.2.32 to 4.2.46 using the NIC firmware upgrade tool from the lenovo support site. The NIC still does not show in the list. From the ESXI compatibility list and from the information here, my NIC should work out the box based on Vendor ID (VID): 1d6a and Device ID (DID): 07b1.
Any help will be appreciated.
Output from ESXI commands below:
