Make sure you enable the z90crypt init script as well (/sbin/chkconfig z90crypt 
on). That will load the kernel module at boot time.

As was mentioned, the "Device Drivers, Features and Commands" manual is 
invaluable. We use it the accelerator for offloading SSL handshakes. Either 
way, just make sure you use cyphers that are supported by your version of the 
crypto devices.

Try modprobe z90crypt to begin with.  Docs and references to more are in 
the "Generic cryptographic device driver" chapter of the "Device Drivers, 
Features and Commands" book:

I haven't used it myself; just looked into it a while back.
