Correct, the NM-2FE2W-v2 is not supported by 2800 series routers. See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_data_sheet
09186a00801aa71c.html under Orderability, Availability, Compatability,
Minimum Software, and Memory Requirements.

Wow, where to start on this one. I didn't realize this was Cisco's=20
post-sales support line. Further, I don't think a Cisco 2851 exactly=20
constitutes core network operations. In the future you would probably=20
be better off with a cisco-related IRC channel, or web board. That=20
being said, I'll see if I can't field this real quick. =20
The 2851 is not powerful enough to route 1 port of 100bT Ethernet let=20
alone 4. What feature set is your IOS revision? Without knowing that I=20
doubt anyone could even begin to troubleshoot this issue.=20
Have you checked to make sure the NM-2FE-2W is compatible with your=20
router AT ALL? After reading the "Relevant Interfaces and Modules"=20
documentation at cisco.com I do not see this module being used with 2800
series routers, or it's predecessor, 2600 series routers for that=20
matter. This is of course all publicly available documentation. =20
Everything I've seen points to them working only with 3600, 3700, and=20
possibly 3800 series chassis.=20
My best suggestion would be to pack up your router, and the network=20
module and send them to a good home with a caring network admin to tend=20
to them. If you would like, please contact me off-list as I've been=20
known to provide shelter to abused and mistreated routing gear.
