This is the first I've seen about this. Our understanding was that the
infrastructure needed
to do IPSec was not available for either Linux or FreeBSD, can you please
explain things?
If everything is there except the support in the driver then I might be able
to add that to
my queue.
If we knew what the driver would need then that might help too :-)
(ha gotcha) :-)

Hi,
I got a dual-port Intel Gigabit NIC with 82576 (ET) chipset
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/prodbrief/320116.pdf. It has a feature
on IPsec offloading but it only mentioned Microsoft Windows 2008 and
Vista servers. I wonder if FreeBSD have also support on this feature?
AFAIK it's not yet, not sure whether Jack has plan to implement the
offloading. I know old Intel i82550 also supported IPSec offloading
but Intel didn't release required information to implement it. 3Com
also supported IPSec offloading in their 3XP hardwares(txp(4)) but
the offloading was not implemented.
Hi Pyun,
Thanks for your info! By the way, who is Jack? Is he the author of
this driver? I really need to have this feature usable on the driver.
I bought these NICs with 82576 chipset for the purpose of implementing
IPsec in my network and my current FreeBSD servers could benefit it.
Just really thought it has support because FreeBSD was already part of
the supported operating system. I was alerted when I've re-read the
product info document again that it only support Windows 2008 and
Vista platforms. Now, I've confirmed that with the current existing
driver. I hope this guy has the plan of implementing it sooner because
I really need it.
Thanks,
Siquijor
