It's quite likely that the Realtec card is not on VMware's Hardware Compatibility List.

Thanks but how I can do this? – May 16 '10 at 06:44

You can use the above link to check if the card is supported or not. If it is not, then you're out of luck with regards to that specific card. At that point, you would need to consider adding a PCI/PCIe card that is supported by VMware. – EEAA May 16 '10 at 14:20

Wow, Is there any way to install with unsupported cards? – Jul 24 '10 at 04:47

No. The ESX hypervisor is monolithic. You can't add in extra drivers or customise it. Fortunately, NICs with compatible chipsets are widely available and consumer-priced options are available. – Chris Thorpe Sep 07 '10 at 22:12
