Description Patrick M. Hausen 2006-12-03 19:10:16 UTC
	I do have an add on crypto card in my Soekris Net4801 box.
	Despite the hardware random generator I'm getting this message
	a couple of hours (read: a couple of MB IPsec traffic) after
	every reboot.

	WARNING: pseudo-random number generator used for IPsec processing

Fix: 

I don't have the slightest idea ;-)
How-To-Repeat: 
	Difficult - get your hands on the same hardware ;-)
	I'll provide any debug output necessary and possibly even
	shell access to the box.

	If you need precise IPsec and ISAKMP config, I can provide
	that as well.

	Maybe PHK has some insight. AFAIK he's using quite a bit
	of Soekris hardware.

Hello, first of all thanks for taking the time to report this. I have 
one minor comment though: This is not a PR but a question initially, can 
you please repost this in a email to freebsd-bugs asking for assistance? 
or perhaps even freebsd-questions? both can be found on 
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo, this not only guarantees that 
submitted PR's are real problems, but also that you will probably be 
helped much sooner. If after discussion this seems a real problem, 
please poke me so that we can add the information to the audit-trial and 
reopen the ticket. Thanks again for using FreeBSD and taking the time to 
improve the product.

Reopen the PR, the submitter mentions that this PR had been filed after advise from kris@.  The hardware random generator in the hifn driver does not work as 
expected.
