Did anyone ever manage to get the Atheros gigabit LAN working on the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H with ESXi 5? I have this board with a Core i7 3770 and it runs ESXi 5 well, Vt-d enabled in the BIOS but nothing has been seriously tested yet - just the basic install and a couple of VMs for a test. The Intel 82579V LAN is recognised after following these instructions http://www.vm-help.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2194&start=170 but the Atheros is proving more tricky.
It shows up:

000:006:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications
lspci -vv
000:006:00.0 Ethernet controller Network controller: Atheros Communications
Class 0200: 1969:1083
Google hasn't found the required drivers for me. Any idea?
