Hi Mark, No, we never found a solution to it. But I've gotten hold of the CP R55 kernel source and will at some time attempt to compile the Intel driver v6.x something, which is supposed to support the PCI-E type intel cards.
We even tried the NGX version, but that did not detect the PCI-E card either. Perhaps one of the latest HFAs will.. Unfortunatly, the server is on the other side of the globe, so it is diffucult to test on. ;-) If I get the intel card working, I can drop you a note.

I'm in the exact same situation - Dell Poweredge 850, a riser with 1 PCI slot (SCSI controller in this case, no RAID) and 1 PCI-express slot (Intel 1000MT dual port NIC). I thought I'd be safe picking the NIC right off Checkpoint's supported hardware list, but there you go... Thanks Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Nilsen Sent: 6 December, 2005 23:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] FW: NICs for PCI Express on SPLAT R55 Does anyone know if there are any (preferrably Dual port) NICs supported on SecurePlatform R55 when using a PCI Express bus? I'm having a bit of a hard time finding any info on this and we're stuck with an implementation on a Dell PowerEdge 850, with 1 PCI and 1 PCI Express slot. The PCI slot is used by the RAID controller, so we need to get a PCI Express ethernet card. The server was delivered with an Intel PCI-E card, but from what I can see, it required a v6.x of the e1000 driver.
