Hi,
my hardware supports the AES-NI instruction set, which is a performance boost.
I'm pretty sure that the appropriate module (aesni_intel) was loaded automatically in the past, which seems not to be the case anymore.
I probably could place it in /etc/rc.conf or something like that, but before going for it, I would like to know why it doesn't get loaded automatically in the first place any longer.
Is this something intentional or some sort of bug/regression? Maybe it has something to do with the switch to kmod a few weeks ago?
Anyone else experienced this?
Best regards, Karol Babioch
As far as I can tell, kmod is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the deprecated tools of module-init-tools. Nonetheless bugs may be there ;) Can you still load aesni_intel by hand? Are you sure the module has not been renamed to something else? Intel renamed iwlagn to iwlwifi some time ago, didn't notice that at first.
