Unofficially, the PIX uses Intel Etherexpress PRO/100 NIC's, which I would
suspect that the PIX's IOS would only have drivers for this card. To be
completely sure, the only sure fire solution would be to take the NIC out of
the PIX, put it into a Windows 2000 machine, and see what it autodetects the
NIC as (Win98 would probably work, but the autodetection on 2000 is much
better IMHO). It is doubtful a 3com NIC would work. Remember, the PIX
(well, the 520 anyways) is just an Intel AL440LX motherboard with a Pentium
II processor. (Or a VS440FX motherboard with a Pentium Pro processor). HTH.

Subject: Adding HW to PIX
Hi,
The PIX system we have only has the inside and outside NICs, which are
default. If I were buy a 3Com card off the self and use it to connect to
the DMZ, would that effect PIX in anyway. Would PIX recognize this new
network HW? Is it something that I have to buy only from Cisco? The
difference
in cost is big $$$. Any advice or exprience appreciated.
TIA.
