hi,
Just jumping in here. The Soekris 1401 offers only limited
performance enhancements. If you read the specs, it is only useful
(and used?) for certain encryption algorithms. Its also deprecated
and would imagine that Soren regrets even releasing it in the first
place.

Given that spec of machine, I don't see that a hardware cipher would

I've read here before (or maybe some other freebsd list) that cards
like the Soekris 1401 don't gain as much as you'd expect due to moving
packets to/from the card over the PCI bus. But the context is usually
one of trying to encrypt packets to increase throughput.
So the question is whether thes
