EEPRO100/S support
Hey all,
I just had an eepro/100 S delivered to me. I haven't dug through specs yet, but has anyone looke at this? Supposedly has a 3DES ASIC built in to the core.
Any way we can use it?

Good question. I've been wondering how exactly that ASIC would even benefit Windows users.
Should 3DES functions be moved to the kernel? Anything's possible. Then get with the libcrypt people to get the 3DES acceleration supported transparently in glibc.
FWIW, I believe Intel's Linux drivers will support this card under 2.4, and I believe (not 100% certain on this) that they're GPL. I'll have to check on that.
