Not to my knowlege. Intel has never released specs for it. Their Linux drivers do not seem to support it. (Even though their has been requests by MULTIPLE people, including their own driver developers, to do so.) They support the card on a totally insecure OS (Win2k), but not on something that can be secured. (I don't believe Win2k can be secured without unplugging it.) Some of my more paranoid friends believe that the reason they do not support it is that the chipset is backdoored or has some other GAKage. I am prone to agree with them. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
