Dell NetXtreme BCM5761 and ESXi 7.0

The latest version of ESXi appears to have dropped support for this NIC. And of course its the onboard NIC in the system I’m trying to install ESXi to (Dell T5500 w/ 2xXeon X5687 + 60GB RAM). I know in the past it has been possible to get community supported drivers for old hardware, but this situation seems more dire since it seems VMWare has dropped it’s Linux driver compatibility layer.

Is there any hope for this old NIC?
