I'm sorry, since I work in a pretty restricted area, I can not offer webspace-similar download areas, but if it is not offending the list, i could provide a compressed output. Find the output attached xz-compressed ...

I just checked this moment again, but the latest UEFI firmware Fujitsu is offering is version 1.8.0 from April of this year. > > > [...] > > FreeBSD clang version 3.6.1 (tags/RELEASE_361/final 237755) 20150525 > > VT: running with driver "efifb". > > CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz (3491.98-MHz K8-class CPU) > > Origin="GenuineIntel" Id=0x306f2 Family=0x6 Model=0x3f Stepping=2 > > Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> > > Features2=0x7dfefbff<SSE3,PCLMULQDQ,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,SDBG,FMA,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,DCA,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT,TSCDLT,XSAVE,OSXSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND> > > There should be an AESNI feature on this line, but clearly not... On another machine, also Fujitsu, but a 19 inch rack server module with a low energy XEON E5-12XXv3, I can clearly see the AESNI feature in Feature2 list and, conclusively, the aesni0 device is present and reported. > > [...] > > > aesni0: No AESNI support. > > [...] > > Which is why you get this... > I applied the port sysutils/cpuid to another system, runnin a i5-4200M mobile CPU (Lenovo notebook). The rows indicating family = Intel ... (simple synth) = ... look much more "modern" for my opinion as the output I provided shows on the CPU in question. It is just a hunch ... Seems, I've bought Intel(ian) crap ;-) with no features and from another mellenium ... oh
