      You can check to see if the module loaded with kldstat.

      If it's loaded and attached you should see in the system log something like:

      Feb 22 01:51:50 	kernel 		aesni0: <AES-CBC,AES-CCM,AES-GCM,AES-ICM,AES-XTS,SHA1,SHA256> on motherboard

      If not you might see an error in the boot log where it failed to attach.

      Just disabling it in the BIOS will produce exactly what you're seeing though.

          In the system log when the driver attaches to the device (though really it's not a device!).
          That's usually during boot but it will appear there after enabling AES-NI at runtime if it wasn't at boot.

            The only place i see AES-NI is in the Features2 part.

              Mmm, the most likely thing is it's disabled in the BIOS but you say there's no setting for it?

              You see the module loaded i the kldstat output? There's nothing else required on the pfSense end.

                  You can run kldstat from the webgui in Diag > Command Prompt.

                  Or you can run it from the command line like:

                      Hmm, so it's not loaded. What do you have set in Sys > Adv > Misc for crypto hardware?

                          Hmm, OK try this:

                          cat /boot/loader.conf

                          You should see see the loader line that cause aes-ni to be loaded at boot.

                          You can also try manually loading it:

                          kldload aesni.ko

                            Shell Output - cat /boot/loader.conf
                            autoboot_delay="3"
                            net.link.ifqmaxlen="128"

                            Shell Output - kldload aesni.ko
                            kldload: can't load aesni.ko: No such file or directory

                            maybe its some thing to do with dells bios or not supported.

                              Hmm try the full path:

                              kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko

                              You are running 2.5.2 or 2.6 I assume?

                                @stephenw10 Hello im running 2.6 i tried kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko and got this kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/aesni.ko: No such file or directory.
                                should i do a reinstall to see if it fixes the issue ?

                                thanks for you help

                                    Nice.
                                    Weird, it looks like somehow that file really wasn't present. I have no idea how that could be possible though.
