 A new man:usbhid[4] driver has been added, and can be loaded by adding `hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1` to [.filename]#/boot/loader.conf# and adding `usbhid` to `kld_list=""` in [.filename]#/etc/rc.conf#. gitref:b62f6dfaed3d[repository=src]
 
+=== Cryptography Acceleration
+
+With man:aesni[4] now included in the GENERIC kernel, users may see their cryptography acceleration reported differently. Until 12.2-RELEASE, loading the man:aesni[4] module and using man:geli[8] registered AES-NI-enabled mainline CPUs as "GEOM_ELI: Crypto: hardware". Many of these CPUs will now show "GEOM_ELI: Crypto: accelerated software". This is simply a change in identification, and does not mean there is reduced support or less efficient encryption.
