ESXi VM instance question - no network card found

Provisioning & Self Service
1

I’ve read that it is possible to create VMWare ESXi instance using KVM.

I’m creating an ESXi 6.7 instance and the installer gets stuck because it doesn’t see any network cards.

I’ve tried enabling virtio drivers when creating the instance but get the same result.

Has anyone managed to do this?

Probably have to use an e1000 nic type as ESXi most likely does not have virtio drivers installed.
