Hi, I am trying to setup two Soekris 4521 with a minipci vpn1411 (Hi/fn 7955) in a vpn.
I understood that the crypto card should automatically work with only three kernel configuration file modification. So I added these three lines device crypto device cryptodev device hifn I tested with openvpn (the one release with pkg_add). I used the default cipher (I think this is BF-CBC - Blowfish 128 bit). The VPN works but I didn't notice any difference in performance (with or without the crypto card). I also tested the crypto card with AES128 but the performance only got worse (didn't have a baseline for that one) Relevant output: dmesg | grep hifn hifn0 mem 0xa0000000-0xa0000fff,0xa0002000-0xa0003fff,0xa0008000-0xa000ffff irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0 hifn0: [ITHREAD] hifn0: Hifn 7955, rev 0, 32KB dram, pll=0x801<ext clk, 4x mult> dmesg | grep crypto cryptosoft0: <software crypto> on motherboard uname -a FreeBSD Soekris 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sat May 17 10:53:38 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/C5 i386 Any help would be appreciated Richard _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
