23.09d - Is QAT Broken?
-
The change we made there should now recognise that device as QAT capable on the dashboard. It should also load the qat module if it's not already.
However the driver itself already worked with the hardware so if it was loaded then the kernel could already use it for kernel mode crypto. -

It does show correctly and I have provided feedback on issue #14844.

Interesting conversations, indeed. I hope that if I installed the QAT device that all need for it, whether kernel or user induced, would utilized the device...that's the reason for purchasing the device. I know in both 23.05.1 and 23.09 releases, the QAT driver takes almost 3 minutes to load on one of my boxes.

There is certainly little point leaving QAT idle when it could be put to use; well, in my view. QAT is one of things that attracted me to Netgate / pfSense+.
I agree and what also attracted me to plus as well and having it in two boxes.

Wendell has just posted this video on QAT and where it should be used:
Clearly I agree.
