Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I know this thread is old but can anyone give me confirmation that the 2410SA does NOT work in ESXi 5? I've searched and cannot seem to find any other source of information that conclusively says one way or the other besides this posting that seems to indicate that it does not; however the...
