I purchased the "EXPI9301CT (1x RJ45 Port) Compatible" option and I can confirm that it is working with a stand-alone ESXi 7.0 U3 running in my homelab. For context, the hardware is a Dell G5 5000 Desktop repurposed for virtualization. Whats important is that I installed this NIC into an available PCIe slot and upgraded via a bootable USB/ISO to 7.0 and the Network interface was automatically picked up and the upgrade from 6.7U3 to 7.0.0 was simple and successful. I later performed an update via zip archive to the latest build (7.0U3) and it also went smoothly. I'm confident you could start by upgrading to the newest build, but that's just not how I ended up doing it.

It has the intel 82574L chipset as promised that is on the VMware HCL and I even inspected it for that chip when it got here, even tho it was clearly written on the box it came in. Popped it in and VMware installed without fuss. Ran good on the windows server 2016 I had running on this machine a few moments ago too. No hiccups whatsoever. ## Frequently Bought Together - 1G Gigabit Desktop PCI-e Network Adapter (NIC) with Intel 82574L Chip, 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Network Card, Single Copper RJ45 Port, PCI-e X1, Compare to Intel EXPI9301CT/EXPI9301CTBLK - Dual-Port PCIe Gigabit Network Card 1000M PCI Express Ethernet Adapter with Intel 82575/82576 Two Ports LAN NIC Card for Support PXE for Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Freebsd/DOS with Low Profile --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52650756-1g-gigabit-desktop-pci-e-network-adapter-nic-with-intel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52650756-1g-gigabit-desktop-pci-e-network-adapter-nic-with-intel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
