our driver links in properly to the IPSEC stack

The 7751 is now considered slow by industry standards and many vendors

have faster chips (even HiFn now has a faster but more expensive

chip). We are moving towards supporting other chips such as:

<li>Broadcom Bluesteelnet 5501/5601/5805

Just after the OpenBSD 2.7 release, we succeeded at adding support

for these early release parts provided to us by the vendor, specifically

The other parts are similar, except that they also add a asymetric engine

for running DSA, RSA, and other such algorithms. With approximate

performance starting at more than twice as fast as the HiFn, hopefully

this part will become more common. We have not fully optimized our driver

yet, so performance figures will be forthcoming.

Intel (and 3com to a lesser degree) don't yet fully understand how

they could benefit from giving us documentation for their cryptography

cards, so feel free to contact them independently and encourage them.
