Hello Alpine Team,

I write this message for a little problem I encounter.

I'm running Alpine since many versions on PC Engine hardware. 
(http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm)
It runs OpenVPN and other services like a charm.
I recently looked at my openvpn config, and wanted to use the Crypto 
hardware card included in the hardware , a geode-aes.
The module is present in the Alpine kernel :

lsmod | grep geode_aes :
geode_aes               4116  0

The openvpn complies with this :

OpenSSL error: cannot load engine 'geode-aes'

As the module is loaded, the problem target is more in the openssl :

OpenSSL> engine
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
(padlock) VIA PadLock: not supported

Here we haven't any geode stuff.

I'm wondering if openssl shouldn't have an addon like cryptodev-linux : 
http://cryptodev-linux.org/

As Alpine Linux is nice for routers/firewalls , a lot of embedded 
hardware have such crypto accelarators.

For information the Alpine is the latest 2.7.7

Does anyone an idea or advice ?

Thanks to all for your great work.

Regards,

Nicolas.
