Thanks for the answers :) So we are talking about a driver to use a specific core of BCM53xx to speed up IPSec crypto functions in the Kernel and handle a higher thoughput on embedded devices when cryptography is on. I know some people from Rome that worked on IPSec suite in the Linux Kernel duri

[OpenWrt-Devel] Google SoC proposal : BCM53xx IPsec core support

2008-03-04 Thread Florian Fainelli
Hi devs, I starting a while ago to code basic support for the BCM53xx IPsec core, highly unfinished, but still cleaner than the original driver. It might be interesting to use a Google Summer of Code to finish this driver and get it merging into the mainline kernel. Any mentor interested ? --
