Description Paul Wouters 2013-04-27 23:40:28 UTC

Description of problem:

openswan could perform 10x faster on machines with AES-NI instruction when the kernel module aesni_intel is loaded by openswan on startup

This is upstream commit aa83b7d56512d57d792023a80153a875d309fe83

Comment 7 Paul Wouters 2013-07-18 14:15:43 UTC

QA test: start openswan on a machine with AES NI instruction. run lsmod to confirm the aesni_intel is loaded.
