Hi,
I have installed esxi 5.1 on a assembled intel 5500bc motherboard along with a dual port intel 10g fibre lan card.
The has gone smooth on the vmware side, i do see that within vmware ethtool shows the adapter as fibre.
But the guest system is showing the virtual card as twisted pair.
why is this and how can i solve this problem,
please do help me out.
