HP servers have similar issues and they have their own version of EXSi 5.x
I tried to install 'Vmware-ESXi-6.0.0-7967664-Custom-Cisco-6.0.3.4.iso' on a server. I installed 'VMware PowerCLI' and downloaded 'ESXi-Customizer-PS-v2.6.0.ps1'. Re: Inject a.VIB into a ESXi.ISO using ESXi-Customizer-PS. I simply but into my custom ESXi ISO the official VIB of the newer igb driver 4.2.16.8 and the VIB of the unofficial community build for the net-e1000e driver 2.3.2. As it turns out any e1000e driver > 2.0 has support for the i217-V.
How I can add specific drivers to the ESXi ISO?

I found a way to add drivers to non supported NIC cards but this goes into the Hypervisor partition 'ESXi install' no into the ESXi ISO

If you're having a problem with a Dell server, use the Dell ESXi image, as it had the agents and monitoring hooks built-in.
It seems like you're trying to ask how to add drivers to ESXi on non-Dell/non-HP hardware. If that's the case..
ESXi is bootstrapped by a small Busybox installation. There are only so many device drivers that can be shipped and supported effectively. Many systems that don't seem ESXi-compatible can be made to be compatible by just adding supported storage and network controllers. It's difficult to find server-class hardware that isn't supported by ESXi. If you're in a bind, just buy an Intel E1000 network card to complete your installation.

The topic is old but if other people face the same problem:
I recently had the same issue , and could solve it following this blog's method:
It basically uses a script to inject the specified nic driver into the specified ESXi iso version. The article is very detailed.
However, I definitely agree with ewwhite;Using unsupported hardware should never be attempted in production environment.
