I was looking at these cards recently because I needed some kind of SSL accelerator card. However they did not provide too much details about the card's driver. My question might be offtopic here, but I'd like to know how well these cards work under a recent version of Linux. E.g. is the driver compatible with recent kernels? Is it available in source or binary-only form? What about its OpenSSL bindings? Is it available in source, so that I'm free to change OpenSSL versions while still being able to use the card? We are using our own Debian derived distribution, so if the card is uses binary-only modules or binds to a certain OpenSSL version, then it would not be good for us.
