SELECT CRYPTO and SELECT MD5 makes it available in the kernel. crc32: Ah, the iSCSI crc32 uses a different polynomial (stronger) than Ethernet and the rest. We argued during the RFC process for just using Ethernet's as good enough, but were voted down. So we are stuck with a separate implementation in this case. -- Clay Haapala (chaapala@cisco.com) Cisco Systems SRBU +1 763-398-1056 6450 Wedgwood Rd, Suite 130 Maple Grove MN 55311 PGP: C89240AD Well, looks like hypocrisy is back on the airwaves.
