      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.
