Well, Smartnet may be one reason, but another reason Cisco sells these cards
as "official" is because they are. You used to be able to tell by looking
but I don't know if that is still the case, but the Cisco cards come with
custom firmware. One of the differences I know of is that the "official"
cards cannot be forced into promiscuous mode.

Subject: Re: Adding NIC to the PIX ?? [7:17691]
Here is the link for the hardware portion:

rd.htm
Watch the wrap. This covers the 535, 525, 520, 515 for upgrading circuit
boards (NICs). In a pinch I have used standard Intel NICs in the PIX 520 to
get it up and going and swapped them out after the "offical" parts came in.
I believe to keep your SmartNET contract it requires that you have Cisco
purchased parts. They give you Intel NICs in the PIX anyway so you should
be safe. I have no idea if there is a change in licensing or not.
