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

      Or you can run it from the command line like:

      [22.01-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat
      Id Refs Address                Size Name

          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?

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