Hello,

I'm trying to use a vpn1411 crypto accelerator with a Soekris net4511
running NetBSD/i386 4.0_STABLE. However, it doesn't seem to work:

$ dmesg
[...]
hifn0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0: Hifn 7955, rev. 0
hifn0: 3DES/AES, 32KB dram, interrupting at irq 11
[...]

The kernel config file contains the `pseudo-device crypto'.

$ ls -l /dev/crypto
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  160, 0 Jun  2 14:35 /dev/crypto

$ sysctl kern.usercrypto
kern.usercrypto = 1

$ openssl speed -elapsed -evp des

Is this card (or the vpn1401 or some other card using a hifn 7955)
working for anybody?


Hints are appreciated!

TIA, Jukka
