I'am use Debian Lenny/sid on this board. It works fine. I can also use the geode-aes engine for encryption partiions on the HD. But I can only use 128 bit keysize with this engine. So I bougth the vpn1401 card with the HIFN 7955 Chip. I tought that this Chip is fully supported by the hifn_795x module which is included in the kernel 2.6.27 of Lenny/sid. But it doesn't work. I get errors when I try tu use the AES-engine of the hifn_795x/Chip/Module. Can you tell me what the parameters are nessesary for cryptsetup to use the hifn_7955? I try with cryptsetup: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256, keysize=256 but that doesn't work.
