Hello, Does anyone have suggestions as to preferred hardware crypto accelerators? I want to improve performance of our SSL-based web application, and making it easier for the web server to spew encrypted ought to help. :) Based on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#CRYPTO-ACCEL and the notes at http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html#hardware I get the impression that the Broadcom stuff is probably best, as they have had the friendliest history of driver support, and there are a bunch of different cards listed under the FreeBSD page. Anyone like to confirm or amend this impression? Vouch for a particular card? Thanks, -danny
