the NIC driver needs to be loaded into the ISO to identify the NIC driver at the time of installation.

Download the NIC driver from here:

as part of my home lab I Installed ESXi 6.0 on one of my older i5 desktops, the PC had a Realtek 8168 network card built into the motherboard. I recently tried to upgrade it-to-ESXi 6.0 it would not detect my network card and the installation would fail. It looks like ESXi 6.0 does not include an Inbox driver for this card. When I originally installed ESXi 5.0 on this PC there is an Inbox driver that got installed automatically and I do not h Ave to inject it into the ISO. Here is the steps how to inject the Realtek driver into the ISO image of ESXi 6.0. This should work for the following Nicsrealtek 8168/8111/8411/8118.

I originally tried to inject a vib taken out of ESXi 5.1u3 offline bundles But this would fail with the below error. It looks like 5.1 vibs is not compatible with ESXi 6.0.

Operation failed:
Could not obtain module order from Esximage DB
The installation profile could not being validated due to the following errors:
VIB vmware_bootbank_net-r8168_8.013.00-3vmw.510.0.0.799733 is obsoleted by set ([' Vmware_bootbank_misc-drivers_ 6.0.0-0.0.2494585′])

Add Realtek R8168 Driver to an ESXi 6.0 ISO
1. Download the "net55-r8168-8.039.01-napi-offline_bundle.zip" file (ESXi 5.5 and 6.0 only)
My download Mirror:net55-r8168-8.039.01-napi-offline_bundle.zip
2. Download esxi-customizer-v2.7.2. Even though it is meant for ESXi 4.1/5.1/5.5 it works perfectly fine with ESXi 6.0 and created a usable ISO.
My download Mirror:esxi-customizer-v2.7.2.exe

3. Use "Unetbootin-windows-608.exe" to install the generated ISO to a USB disk
