A message that is not in the archive (sent off-list or not yet received): LYRIS-7332-87686-2006.10.04-02.52.47--mfrey#[email protected]
Does this patch support the eeprom on the AES module?
Also, Can this patch be used on a 2.6.18 kernel?
Thanks,
Michael

No - not yet. I wasn't happy with way we did that driver in the first place (heaven help me, I make stupid programming decisions sometimes), and I also wanted to get the crypto engine itself in first.
The eeprom will be coming soon - but probably not to this crowd, since it will (for now) just be a generic device providing a bit of storage on chip. If there is a generic way for dealing with hardware keys in the crypto subsystem, then we can tie it together later.

Hmmm... I use the new API - is that legal for 2.6.18?

No but you can find one that works in the mm kernels prior to 2.6.18's release.
