Did anyone wrote a driver for it yet ?


Current kernel CryptoAPI is lacking sane support for hw crypto engines 
(e.g. there is no async crypto). Until there is such generic support, 
it's highly difficult to efficiently integrate hw crypto into the 
kernel. I did such stuff for Hifn 7955 accelerator and didn't like the 
result :).

Thanks Eugene,
Do you know if anybody is working on HW crypto engine support ?

Regards,
Guillaume.
