Here is a brief describtion of our nFast PCI product: nCipher nFast PCI - hardware cryptographic accelerator with optional key management. Is that the correct sort of description? Both the driver name and the device node basename are 'nfp' at present. (from 'NFast Pci', we also have a SCSI version for which we use the generic SCSI driver) If a support reference or a general reference is needed, could you please use the email address 'support@ncipher.com' or the url whichever is most appropraite. thanks, -john -- John Hartley nCipher Corporation Ltd, http://www.ncipher.com Station Road, mailto:john@ncipher.com Cambridge, CB1 2JD voice: +44 1223 723 600 United Kingdom fax: +44 1223 723 601 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
