With the release of vSphere 8.0 Update 3 now generally available (release notes and direct download links below):
- ESXi
- vCenter
I know the first question I will get (which I already have already :P) is what about updated versions of the Nested ESXi Virtual Appliance and USB Network Native Driver for ESXi? π
You can find the newest versions of the Nested ESXi Virtual Appliance (8.0 Update 3) and the USB Network Native Driver for ESXi (1.15) on the VMware Flings CommunityΒ (login is required), enjoy! π₯³
The latest USB NIC fling appears to be broken with the new ESXi release on my setup, tried manually setting NIC speed but it still shows up as disconnected. How should I attempt to troubleshoot the issue?
Rolled back to U2d and everything was working fine again.
Can you provide a vm-support bundle and what type of USB NIC (VID/DID) would be great?
Same here.
USB NICs appear as down on 8.0 Update 3 with latest USB fling from the flings page (ESXi80U3-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-75399077-component-24052746), reportedly as 1.1.4
Rolling back to 8.0 Update 2 restored functionality.
I'm using 3x Cable Matters USB-A to 1GbE Adapter (CMI USB 101001000 LAN reported on the SSH console)
Can you provide support bundle post-upgrade?
I've upgraded it again to create the support bundle. Same issue

First, thanks so much for all the information and software you have provided. It is invaluable to me!
I have a Belkin F2CU040 on an Intel NUC 12 (https://www.belkin.com/usb-c-to-gigabit-ethernet-adapter/F2CU040btBLK.html) and am seeing the same issue.
Do you need additional support bundles?
Hello, I'm seeing similar issues since upgrade. It behaves like it's going up and down every second. Ping say's it's about 60% packet loss.

Hey William. The link to the appliances on your nested virtualization page is wrong. It needs to have "flings", not "fling". Thanks!
Thanks, fixed!
