Hello,

I have a HiFN crypto card and can remember that it was used for ssh
connections with 3des encryption (on 6.1 afair).
But with RELENG_7 it isn't used at all (no interrupts) if I
'ssh -v -c 3des-cbc user@host'

Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi,
Are you sure you have device crypto and device cryptodev in the kernel? Also, there is a program in /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto called hifnstats. It will show some usuage stats. e.g.

% hifnstats
input 43292952 bytes 182393 packets
output 43292952 bytes 182393 packets
invalid 0 nomem 0 abort 0
noirq 0 unaligned 67775
totbatch 0 maxbatch 0
nomem: map 0 load 0 mbuf 0 mcl 0 cr 0 sd 0
