Good morning,
I'd like to ask whether there was any updates, news, anything
about the Broadcom cryptoaccelerators' AES support in the recent
past. ubsec(4)[1] tells at the BUGS section, that it's awaiting
some information from broadcom. It would be nice to have AES
support for these cards, since the hifn(4) ones don't provide
as much performance as the broadcom ones, according to the
utilities in the source tree, google, and the vendors themselves.

Broadcom never gave me the ok to add the AES support; will ask again.
As to performance I believe hifn 7956 parts were on a par w/ the 5823
but it's been a long time. The main issue isn't the speed of the crypto
part but the bus+dma glue.
