fail-open nic and snort?

[Crayola <crayola () optonline net>]

I would like to build a snort based IPS solution but I cant seem to find a
vendor who sells fail open nics. Since snort would be inline, I cant have it
blocking my network connection if the system fails, loses power, etc. 

I checked out bypass switches from Netoptics but I would like something that
can be installed directly in the PC. A PCI nic basically. 
Any ideas? 

Thanks,
Mike
