Hi,

today I discovered the following dmesg line on my laptop:

cryptosoft0: <software crypto> on motherboard

and I've not seen this one before, so: what is cryptosoft and should I
care?

I could imagine it's a pseudo-device by crypto(9) so the API is the same
whether crypto hardware is installed or not.

Anyway, I think a manpage link/update would be in order:

% man -k cryptosoft
cryptosoft: nothing appropriate


Cheers,
Ulrich Spoerlein
