        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.
