Hi Telefragger,
please follow Chilly's instructions to find out the PCI ID of your NIC.
You can then use the "Advanced-edit"-mode of ESXi-Customizer to change the contents of the OEM.tgz file before it is applied to the ISO. Check the file /etc/vmware/simple.map to see whether it includes a mapping for your device ID. If not try to add it by copying and modifying an existing entry for the e1001e driver.

You downloaded *both* RAR files and extracted the OEM.tgz file out of the rar files properly correct? It is *possible* but unlikely that IBM has their own pci.id code. If they do, you'd have to add it to the pci.id of the oem.tgz
Do this for me please, boot up the system using the custom iso. Once you get to the install screen, press ALT-F1, that will get you into the console. By default the username is root and blank password. Once your logged in, run these commands in order and tell me what the output is for each.Is anything listed here, if so what. After this command, run the next one;Code:esxcfg-nics -l
And then run this following command again, and let me know what, if anything is listed here, and what its PCI number is.Code:vmkload_mod e1001e
Code:esxcfg-nics -l
Once you try that, we can go from there
for me..
first one had nothing..
second one brought up couldnt load module
third one nothing....
