Hi Dave,
Are you saying it is possible to import the 5.0 driver into 5.1 ?
r8169 , is it a driver ?
I do not understand this bit : "You: could copy the driver from 5.0 to 5.1 but you'd want to create a custom oem.tgz file. ESXi builds a ram disk for system files when it boots so if you copy a file to a running ESXi install, it'll be gone on next boot up."
How do i create a custom oem.tgz file ? And if i do that will it be forever in the system or i have to load it after each boot ?
Sorry for my ignorance, if you could give some more details , would be much appreciated
Thanks
Jean Florentine
