Almost ready to set up ESXi for the first time

You shouldn't be using the vmxnet driver anyway. The e1000 emulator is much more mature for linux.

You probably weren't suggesting I did, but I didn't install any drivers. I just used the default 'Untangle_811_x64_vmware.ova'.

Verified MD5 of 20FDD73A7323FF07F6B1A49260C25029.

Retrieve from: 'Link'.

Removing the 'vmxnet driver' and replacing it with an 'e1000 emulator' sounds difficult.

The drivers are already installed in the appliance package. you dont remove any drivers to switch to a different nic type. those are in the settings of the VM....

I've just checked the Untangle VM's virtual hardware, and all vNIC's are set to type E1000. Maybe it's just a 'first time boot' thing? I can't check to see if it still does it because I have no Untangle VM VDU while it's booting.

The VMXnet driver is part of the tools installation, you aren't using it so stop worrying about it.

Thanks. Everything seems fine anyway.

Hey J2897, how much tweaking did you have to do during your setup "following the guide" to get everything going?
