To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device crypto device cryptodev device qat

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in loader.conf(5):

qat_load="YES"
qat_c2xxxfw_load="YES"
qat_c3xxxfw_load="YES"
qat_c62xfw_load="YES"
qat_d15xxfw_load="YES"
qat_dh895xccfw_load="YES"

The qat driver implements crypto(4) support for some of the cryptographic acceleration functions of the Intel QuickAssist device. The qat driver supports the QAT devices integrated with Atom C2000 and C3000 and Xeon C620 and D-1500 chipsets, and the Intel QAT Adapter 8950. It can accelerate AES in CBC, CTR, XTS (except for the C2000) and GCM modes, and can perform authenticated encryption combining the CBC, CTR and XTS modes with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC. The qat driver can also compute SHA1 and SHA2 digests.
