I don't actually care if the crypto stuff is supported right now; sure, it would be nice to have but AFAIK the NDA requirements get in the way. The question is whether 4.2-STABLE will support these as normal fxp cards. Last time the topic came up it quickly digressed into a discussion of UART chip numbering. If they won't work, recommendations for reasonably priced sources of fxp cards that will would be appreciated. These are going into old P5-133s, so I'd prefer not to spend *too* much more than the machines themselves are worth! :-) [They currently have old 10Mb/s 3c509 ISA cards.] [1] The other places have mostly RealTek based cards-by-the-barrel for $20. -- Christopher Davis * * Put location information in your DNS!
