Does Astaro support the expanced hardware VIA PadLock crypto engine that was introduced with the VIA C7 processor?
I understand the kernel must be 2.6.18r2 onwards and that a patch is needed to take advantage of the expanded crypto engine in VIA C7. (see http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/ ). While VIA C3 is listed as compatible processor in the Astaro Hardware Compatibility List, VIA C7 is not.
Has anyone tried using VIA C7 with Astaro?
Is there reason to believe that the VIA C7 will be substantially faster for IPsec VPN than C3 processor at same frequency because of the new crypto engine?
Embarrased to admit, but I don't know what version the most recent kernel of Astaro is?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers,
Tore
