[Soekris] Linux + crypto + hifn + 4801

Hi,

I have successfully install Debian stable on my net4801 (Thanks to
David Courtney's guides at www.ultradesic.com).   Whlie this is nice,
it doesn't support the hifn crypto accelerator chip (vpn1411).

Searching Google, I found 2 crypto frameworks for linux that seem to
support the chip and make it useful for OpenSSL and OpenSSH:
- OCF - http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/
- acrypto - http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/old/?section=projects&item=acrypto

Does anyone follow the development of these projects?  If so, do you
have any advice on which one is preferable in the Linux on Soekris
environment?  It would also be nice to see some success stories, build
notes or cautions.  The docs look pretty thin.

Thanks,

Austin
