Test kernel from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/vmxnet3-update-to-6.0-lp1995886/ in ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso:
 No issue is found when sanity check vmxnet3 with following testcases:
  1) vmxnet3 version is 1.7.0.0-k with command "modinfo vmxnet3"
  2) hot-add / hot-remove NIC with vmxnet3
  3) add / remove NIC with vmxnet3 when VM is poweroff
  4) VM can recognize the vmxnet3 NIC when it’s added and the VM is pingable.

Env:
create VM and install guestOS with the image in ESXi and then update the kernel from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/vmxnet3-update-to-6.0-lp1995886/

1) Image: ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso
   kernel: 5.19.0-23-generic #24
   vmxnet3: /lib/modules/5.19.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3.ko
   vmxnet3 version: 1.7.0.0-k

2) Image: ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso
   kernel: 5.15.0-53-generi #59
   vmxnet3: /lib/modules/5.15.0-53-generic/kernel/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3.ko
   vmxnet3 version: 1.7.0.0-k
