soekris net5501 and vpn14[01]1

["Martin Marcher" <martin@marcher.name>]

Hello,

I'm looking for a router, VPN server box. The soekris hardware[] seems
to be exactly what I want. Seems it would work fine even withoug the
vpn card. Initial googling showed me a vast amount of working *bsd
installations but no clear answer on the linux part.

I'd rather have debian on this box as I'm more used to the OS and it's
configuration quirks (some are always there :)).

Is the mentioned vpn card[1] ready to use in the stock debian kernel,
and (this is something in found in several openbsd mailing lists) will
openssl/gnutls use it's capabilities or would that be lost money?

thanks for your input
