USB has become one the most widely adopted connection type in the world & USB network adapters are also popular among Edge computing platforms. In some platforms, there is either limited or no PCI/PCIe slots for I/O expansion & in some cases, an Ethernet port is not even available. Another advantage of a USB-based network adapter is that it can be hot-plugged into an system without a reboot which means no impact to the workload, same is true for hot-remove.
Enter Networking 3.0. Rather than networking to directly benefit yourself (1.0), or a total stranger (2.0), the idea here is to network solely for the benefit of your best existing clients and colleagues. In theory, it’s all about what you can do for them, and how you can add more value to your relationships with them. NetWorker Management Console installs the following the executables on your PC, taking about 41.66 MB (43685904 bytes) on disk. Httpd.exe (50.54 KB) gstauthcfg.exe (229.04 KB).
- NetWorker 5.2.0 MAS Mac OS X 14 MB. NetWorker is a lightweight and easy to use tool that displays network information in the menu bar. It is fully customizable and supports adapters wired and wireless network.

This Fling supports the most popular USB network adapter chipsets found in the market. The ASIX USB 2.0 gigabit network ASIX88178a, ASIX USB 3.0 gigabit network ASIX88179, Realtek USB 3.0 gigabit network RTL8152/RTL8153 and Aquantia AQC111U. These are relatively inexpensive devices that many of our existing vSphere customers are already using and are familiar with.
- VMware ESXi 6.5, 6.7 & 7.0

Step 1 - Download the ZIP file for the specific version of your ESXi host and upload to ESXi host using SCP or Datastore Browser
Step 2 - Place the ESXi host into Maintenance Mode using the vSphere UI or CLI (e.g. esxcli system maintenanceMode set -e true)
Step 3 - Install the Offline Bundle (6.5/6.7) or Component (7.0)
Run the following command on ESXi Shell to install Offline Bundle (6.5/6.7):
Run the following command on ESXi Shell to install Component (7.0):
Step 4 - Plug-in the USB NIC and reboot for the change to go into effect. Once the host has rebooted, ESXi should automatically pickup and claim the USB NIC (e.g. vusb0)
Note: Secure Boot can not be enabled if you decide to use the USB NIC as your primary NIC for Management Network. Since the settings do not persist, you will need to create a startup script (see instructions below for more details details) and this is not allowed when Secure Boot is enabled. If USB NIC is not your primary NIC for the Management Network, then you do not have to disable Secure Boot
Intel NUC 10 (Frost Canyon) Considerations
The built-in Intel NIC is not automatically recognized by ESXi and requires an updated ne1000 driver which can be found here. You will need to create a custom ESXi ISO that contains this driver and install ESXi prior to installing the USB Native Driver ESXi Fling.Persisting USB NIC Bindings
Currently there is a limitation in ESXi where USB NIC bindings are picked up much later in the boot process and to ensure settings are preserved upon a reboot, the following needs to be added to /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh based on your configurations.Note: The vusbX vmkernel interface may not show up in either ESXi Embedded Host Client and/or vSphere HTML5 UI, this does not mean there is an issue. ESXi was never designed to support USB-based NICs for Management Network and the UI may not properly detect these devices when using the UI. It is recommended to use the ESXi Shell for any operations requiring configuration of vusbX devices.
Persisting VMkernel to USB NIC mappings
When multiple USB NICs are connected, it is possible that the mapping between vmkX to physical MAC Address of the USB NIC could random change upon rebooting ESXi. To ensure this does not happen, customers can specify the mapping by adding custom parameter to USB NIC module.Here is an example where we are mapping vusb0 to 70:88:6b:85:c0:53 and vusb1 to 58:ef:68:7f:2b:f7:
