I am working on this (albiet for NetBSD), but don't yet have the
documentation I need. Unfortunately, it seems as if Intel considers
the crypto function of the Pro/100S to be a trade secret (er, or
something). Anyway, I'm trying to work out an acceptable arrangement
that would allow me access to the chip's documentation but also allow
me to release an open-source driver.
