What is the solution for this? I have a Dell Optiplex 790 with the same Intel Ethernet 82579LM and ESXi doesn't recognize it so I can't use ESXi now. There has to be drivers for such a popular Ethernet card, right?
The poster before you managed to hijack a two year old thread so that his first post could refer people to a website. The problem with asking if it was ever solved is that the original poster has probably long forgotten about his post, and would now be running a very different version of VMware.
The canonical answer to this question is always this link:

I've had no hits for your card. You may say it's "popular" but was it ever a server card (eg, deployed in standard servers)? If it not, it would be unlikely to be supported by VMware.
