No, the Fast Ethernet modules don't work in the 2600s - I've looked
myself before. You need to get a 3660 to get this sort of port density
and CPU power combined which is a shame. Another option is to hook a
2651 up to a Catalyst 2912 using trunking - given the CPU limits on
even the 265x series, that should probably give you just as much
throughput and the same features as you'd get with a 12-port 2650!

Are you sure you've seen the FastEthernet ones in 2600s before? It's
more likely to have been a 10Mb/s card - the NM-1E and NM-4E work in
2600s fine. Obviously speed isn't as good, and you also lose trunking
but if you really do need the ports to be totally seperate it'll do
the job.

I'm not losing my mind, no I'm not changing my lines, I'm just learning new things with the passage of time
