Where it works, is when you have multiple connections. e.g. on our old backup server, we would have several dumps coming in over ssh (3des) and the card made a significant reduction in CPU usage. It doesnt really improve single crypto streams performance wise. You can also confirm its working by using hifnstats in /usr/src/tools/tools/ ---Mike
