You cannot use any ordinary NIC in a PIX. The NICs in a PIX have been
modified to disable promiscuous mode. In addition, I believe that they also
have a proprietary firmware chip on these cards, which you just can't
reproduce any other way.
How do I know this, you ask? I tried the same thing! A Cisco SE
straightend me out, however... ;-}

Subject: PIX 520 ethernet cards
Hey Folks,
Can I put a non-Cisco ethernet card (Intel/3com) in my PIX 520 as a third
interface, and if so, how does one load the driver for it? I assume the
driver for the cards that come with it are built in to the IOS.
Cheers
