Yes, the virtual machines were using vmxnet3 or whatever the default VMWare 
virtual nic is, though I also tried e1000. The virtual machines (which were 
debian) ran fine with both those network cards until they stopped.

In fact on my other computer with an Intel nic, everything worked without 
problems however, once I moved the VMs to the new PC with a newer model of 
intel nic, the vms kept dropping off the network. The google results I did find 






























































































































































































































































































































































































































































suggested it to be a problem with the ne1000 (ESXi's e1000 driver) (but they 
were results from 6.5 and suggested disabling ne1000 and falling back to an 
older driver which is no longer included with 7.0).

Anyway, while I do like vmware esxi, now that I've moved everything over to KVM 






























































































































































































































































































































































































































































(and it's all running smoothly), I think I actually prefer this.

I have Virt Manager on my desktop that connects to libvirt via ssh on the 
hypervisor and works well.

I just today ordered another 16Gb of ram for it.. so should be able to replace 
all my other "servers" that I don't run because I can't justify the power usage
