Make sure you have the latest safenet driver from the 2007 tarball, there are some bus width fixes in there IIRC for all the PCI drivers. Other than that, it's debug time. > I have a question, I have noticed that list of hardware accelerators > are supported with OCF-Linux is a bit unclear, even though these > hardware accelerators are mentioned clearly: > > 1. Hifn-7751 hifn 7751, 7956 safenet 1141, 1741 Intel IXP (465 425 and 422) Freescale SEC (talitos) There is also a Via padlock driver in freebsd that would be trivial to port.
