[Openswan Users] Fwd: How openswan work with ocf and ixp4xx hardware acceleration?

[mix.kao]

Should i enable
# Do we have OCF available?
HAVE_OCF?=true
in the openswan Makefile.inc?

I have patched the OCF into the Linux kernel, and compiled the ocf.ko 
and cryptodev.ko from Linux kernel source tree.

Thanks

Hi there,

I use OCF with ixp425 hardware acceleration (arm platform) and Openswan
2.6.24 and Linux kernel 2.6.28.10

When i start openswan daemon, it will auto load linux kernel
crypto_algapi related kernel module, is it ok to use crypto in hardware?
Or it means i still use software crypto?
I try to rmmod all the crypto_algapi related module and try to build
tunnel, it can build tunnel but can not ping each other.
If i don't rmmod the crypto_algapi related module, the tunnel is work fine.

So any suggestion to let openswan work with OCF and ixp4xx hardware
crypto acceleration?
