Re: [Design] A hardware acceleration project for FreeS/WAN
Linux has a `channel bonding' patch, IIRC. Would that not do the trick
for even `client' models of the NIC? Admittedly, my info about that
patch is a bit old. Perhaps it does not work on modern kernels.

| Anyone in Ottawa who'd like to play with Fabian's code, I was just at
| Northern Micro on Colonnade Road and they have a half dozen Pro/100S
| boards on the shelf at $75 each.
|
| Some are labelled as the 'server model', others not. Fabian: what's
the

|
| They also have several Intel PCMCIA adapters with the crypto
accleration
| chips at $95. Fabian: does your code support these?
