It is a separate module available at: http://repo.or.cz/w/cryptodev-linux.git It was originally based on the old cryptodev module found at http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/ In the extras directory there is a patch for openssl that will make use of the /dev/crypto. Gnutls (2.9.x) will use /dev/crypto if it compiled with --enable-cryptodev. regards, Nikos
