            @Jailer:

            Does it support AES-NI?

            The funny thing is that no, it doesn't support AES-NI.  Nor does it support ARM's version of AES-NI.  :o

            …
            ...
            ...

            But it does support Marvell's hardware cryptographic accelerator, CESA.  ;D

              Hmmm… and is there some driver for that?

                So will 2.5 support CESA?  Since from what I was reading with pfsense 2.5 hardware atleast for CE has to support aes-ni

                  It can´t because AES-NI is a x86 instruction set only and the Armada is a ARM CPU structure!

                  So will 2.5 support CESA?

                  Only on the ARM port.

                      Well there was me thinking Vader would at least have to put a multi-terrabit firewall into his Star Destroyer thingies. But then again satellite internet sucks and a small ARM device might just suffice :)

                        But Turris Omnia and ClearFog are really nice pieces of hardware, aren´t they? And the R1 seems to be a small dog for sure,
                        but reater and better sorted then the SG-1000 or am I wrong with that?

                          Still no heatsink on that CPU? Those SG-3100 and this similar model idle around 60C. Critical temp is 80, and mine has already hit that when loading Snort rules.

                            The SoC in the 3100 is thermally bonded to the base plate which it uses as a heatsink.

                            80°C is not a critical temperature for it. Whilst a little higher than I usually see I would not worry about that as a peak reading. 65-75°C is the expected range. Obviously that depends on the ambient temperature.

                            Are you seeing that shown as 'critical' on the Thermal Sensors widget? Those values are generic there and not taken from the hardware. It should be set higher for the 3100.
