RE: update to Lenny - eth not found

Hi,

The guest should be seeing a vmware vmxnet module and not the e1000, the e1000 is esxi compatible....its one of the better ones.

regards

Steven

I'm not sure if it was removed from Debian's 2.6.26, but the non-free firmware for the e1000 may have been.  If so, you'll need to firmware-linux package from non-free.

(I'm pretty sure the e1000 firmware was in Debian's 2.6.18 kernel.)
