Hifn 7955 doesn't work with Freebsd 7.0-release

[Richard van Mansom]

Hi,

I am trying to setup two Soekris 4521 with a minipci vpn1411 (Hi/fn 7955) in
a vpn. 

I understood that the crypto card should automatically work with only three
kernel configuration file modification.

So I added these three lines

device	crypto
device	cryptodev
device	hifn

I tested with openvpn (the one release with pkg_add). I used the default
cipher (I think this is BF-CBC - Blowfish 128 bit). The VPN works but I
didn't notice any difference in performance (with or without the crypto
card). 
I also tested the crypto card with AES128 but the performance only got worse
(didn't have a baseline for that one)

Relevant output:
dmesg | grep hifn
hifn0 mem 0xa0000000-0xa0000fff,0xa0002000-0xa0003fff,0xa0008000-0xa000ffff

hifn0: Hifn 7955, rev 0, 32KB dram, pll=0x801<ext clk, 4x mult>

dmesg | grep crypto
cryptosoft0: <software crypto> on motherboard

Any help would be appreciated
