Too much conflicting information from Cisco; this documents 
now seems to suggest the NM-2FE2W network module is, in fact, 
supported on the 2600 and 2600XM platforms, after all:

Your best bet is to "borrow" one (if you can) and test it for 
sure before you move to purchase - you don't want your 
employer breathing down your neck for a wrong purchase :-).

Suffice it to say, the Software Advisor on CCO is 
contradictory; it says the NM-2FE2W is unsupported on this 
platform.

You're better off testing than relying on the documentation, 
at this point :-).

802.1Q is currently supported on the 2621 (assuming the right 
IOS is involved).

Cheers,
