VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 not working with Intel Dual/Quad PCIe NICS
VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 Driver CD for Intel 82575 and 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Even after installing update 1 for ESX/ESXi 4.0, the OS still will not see these NIC's as being available to your system. Apparently after talking to VMWare support, there is an updated IGB driver available that you can download although it is a bit hidden on VMWare's website.
You will want to SCP this over to your server and then follow the instructions for an offline installation. The only problem is that you will have to take your ESX server into maintenance mode to do the update. Once it is done and you reboot, you can then see the NIC's and use them as part of your VM configuration.
