Hi

I am trying to add PCI device in new or cloned virtual machine but Ansible vmware module (vmware\_guest) does not have parameters to add PCI device in virtual machine. While adding parameters with any name or keyword like pci\_address, pci\_controller, pci\_device etc. in playbook, but during execution ansible is not bothering/reading these parameters and moved on without any error or warning or changes.

Please help.
