USB Network Native Driver for ESXi 8.0U1 (v1.12) and 8.0U2 (v1.13)

 因为 VMware 在被 Broadcom 收购后关闭了 Flings 网站,此社区版驱动文档迁移到了 USB Network Native Driver for ESXi Documentation – VMware Technology Network VMTN

之前发布的8.0U1 和 8.0U2 的下载链接暂时无法从 VMware 官网获得,不过有网友事先通过 archive.org留存了备份,如下https://archive.org/download/flings.vmware.com/Flings/USB%20Network%20Native%20Driver%20for%20ESXi/

请注意以下更新提示
