此版本还解决了社区中的一些人在使用多个 USB NIC 时遇到的最近的 PSOD 问题。有关更多详细信息，请参阅更改日志以获取更多信息。
Changelog
Jun 14, 2021 - v1.8
- Added support for ESXi 7.0 Update 2
- Disable USB bus scanning (usbBusFullScanOnBootEnabled=0) by default, which prevents PSOD for customers using multiple USB NICs
Note: This is ONLY for ESXi 7.0 Update 2, for ESXi 7.0/6.7/6.5, please ensure you are using the correct version of driver.
