It think we should just remove this entry. AFAIK padlock(4) recognized also VIA C7 CPUs before, there was just no information about this in the manual page. Michael, can you confirm this? If VIA C7 was not recognized by padlock(4) from 6.0/6.1, we should add the info you proposed: The padlock(4) driver now supports the AES encryption functions of the VIA C7 processor. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
