How could we get that information? Is anyone > working on this? I am working on this (albiet for NetBSD), but don't yet have the documentation I need. Unfortunately, it seems as if Intel considers the crypto function of the Pro/100S to be a trade secret (er, or something). Anyway, I'm trying to work out an acceptable arrangement that would allow me access to the chip's documentation but also allow me to release an open-source driver. -- -- Jason R.
