Hi

I'm using a INTEL Gigabit ET Dual Port Server Adapter 82576 1000 GB with iSCSI (with Firmware: 2.7.44) to connect the server to vmware ESXi 4.1 and I've read in the vmware's documentation that the interface card must be iBFT enable!

I don't found any information about iBFT and this INTEL card.

Could please someone tell if this INTEL card has the iBFT and if it's ok for vmware ESXi 4.1?

Regards,

nm

P.S.- Has someone still tested it with VMWare?
