This would be a worthy goal, but has some practical obstacles. The OpenBSD driver doesn't fit completely into the FreeBSD framework, and the existing driver needs substantial cleanup as well. The OpenBSD guys are currently revamping their framework, so the target is in a state of flux. > Is there any roadmap for inclusion in the tree ? Yes, I have funding to do crytographic hardware offloading. I have some sample boards from PowerCrypt and Soekris, and hope to have the code ready for distribution by the end of the month. This would include the drivers for the board, as well as the network changes to support offloading. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
