Can any of the eight ASA 5505 ports be set up as mirror ports?

I just had a customer ask me a question which I couldn't answer. Can any of the 8 switch ports on the ASA 5505 firewall be set up as a mirror (analyzer) port so they can plug in an Ethereal/Wireshark laptop and watch traffic?

(I didn't think so, but maybe someone smarter knows for sure)

Use additional swith for mirroring

or you can use "capture" on ASAhttp://cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_tech_note09186a00807c35e7.shtml
