Splat 2.6 supports VPN Accelerator IV card?

[cantoron]

Hi there,

I just installed Splate 2.6 NGX R65 and it said the vpn accelerator car is not installed.

Just wondering anyone has the same problem.

Thanks

Isn't there an RPM [CPacc4-10-00.i386.rpm] you have to install [post SPLAT install] before it recognized the Accelerator card? I learned the hard way that whatever's linked on their website IS NOT what you install.

Yes. But that one is for kernel 2.4.

SecurePlatform_2.6_for_NGX_R65_Release_Notes.pdf states that SPLAT v2.6

" The following hardware is NOT supported - VPN-1 Accelerator Cards II, III, and IV are not supported in this release. They will be supported with new drivers in the future."

I have actually opened a checkpoint support call asking if there is a known date when these VPN Accelerator cards will be supported.

If I get a response i will post a reply.

Cheers.

Official response from checkpoint regarding VPN Accelerator IV cards & Splat 2.6 as follows

"After clarifying the issue with Checkpoint RnD it seems that they are currently in the process of developing and testing the VPN1 Accelerator card IV driver for splat 2.6.

Although we cannot currently commit to a specific release date, it will probably be ready in less then 2 months. "

So... you can expect a Splat 2.6 VPN Accelerator IV driver approx August 2008....

Hope this helps.
