esxi/network-kickstart-vmnic

Set the ESXi software install acceptance level.

Use this param to specify the device to plumb the network configuration up with post install in the "kickstart" phase. This Param does not have a default value; existing code will assume the product default behavior of using vmnic0 if this Param is not set.

If the Param esxi/vmnic-device is set, that Param takes precendence over this one. This retains backwards compatability in the field for existing content.

If the final production NIC needs to migrate to a different physical NIC on the ESXi system, you will likely want to check the esxi/network-firstboot-vmnic setting Param and it's associated help documentation.
