I dont know about the card you mention below, but the ones specifically 
mentioned in the man pages are

safe (4)
ubsec (4)
hifn (4)

We have used HiFn 7951 based cards with really great results for IPSEC and 
ssh acceleration.  We bought the cards from www.soekris.com (VPN1201 and 
VPN1211). The new card, the vpn1401 looks promising, but the drivers are 
broken right now so I would stay away from it and cards based on that chip.
