Quoting Andre Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
I have been turning a Soekris Net 4801 box into a wireless access point.
I saw that one can get a crypto-accelerator card from Soekris
Engineering that plugs into the free PCI slot on the 4801.
One quick (silly) question.
Under OpenBSD 4.2 would such a card improve WEP performance, or is that
handled entirely by the wireless ath0 (mini-pci) card?
It makes sense that a crypto-accelerator would help if the Soekris were
a VPN endpoint, but for WEP I think it probably is entirely useless,
right?
For WEP it's pretty much useless. Wrong kind of crypto.
The only thing that would help a soekris is a real CPU :)
Just idle curiosity.
Thanks
Dre
