3com Driver and the 3XP Processor

[Brent D. Norris]

I just had one of the "3com Etherlink 10/100 PCI NIC with 3XP processor"
float accross my desk, I was wondering how much the linux kernel uses the
3xp processor for its encryption offloading and such.  According to the
hype it does DES without using the CPU, does linux take advantage of that?
