I think the powercrypt is based on the same HiFn chip and uses the same 
driver, so it might be hit by the same bug that I am running into both on 
FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  Then again, it could be some issue with openssl as to 
how it talks to the card.  Still, there were reports by one ipsec user on 
OpenBSD that they had problems with the card and IPSEC.

I would love to hear from any FreeBSD or OpenBSD user with the 1401 to see 
if they can reproduce this bug.
