Instead, the 9751 is only capable of doing compression.

Since we do not currently attempt to use any of these chips to do

compression, the 9751-based cards are not useful.

Support for the 7955 and 7956 is incomplete; the asymetric crypto

facilities are to be added and the performance is suboptimal.
