Hi Freebies!!

I know F-BSD 4.8 supports a framework in the kernel to use crypto
functions from hifn crypto cards. Is there any of these cards that
support custom crypto? What is the best route to go if I want to support
IPSec (and maybe other) crypto functions but with custom crypto
algorithms?
Any info or ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks
