Transparent mode is equivalent to a layer 2 bridge. PIX OS version 7 and above support this feature (as well as the FWSM). The pix will firewall layer 3 traffic, as well as certain layer2 traffic when operating in transparent mode. The practicality comes in when you want to place a firewall in an existing architecture without readdressing everything. You just plug the firewall into a switch( or vlan) with the devices you want firewalled, and then plug the router into the firewall (or switch or vlan).
