They should work. Run the compatibility tool. http://www.checkpoint.com/products/supported_platforms/secureplatform_testing_tool.html I can't copy-paste the article you mentioned below to this list, since it is not a public article -- but i can paraphrase it for you: run "lspci" to see if splat sees your nic. Add your interface and driver name to the /etc/modules.conf file - (example) alias eth2 e1000 I just installed (yesterday 9/21/2005) an Intel quad-port 10/100/1000 64-bit copper PCI NIC into a Dell PE 1650 running R60, and it worked fine. Here is the relevent output of the my /etc/modules.conf file: alias eth3 e1000.4.6.11 alias eth5 e1000.4.6.11 alias eth4 e1000.4.6.11 alias eth6 e1000.4.6.11
