+.SH NAME
+ncp \- UltraSPARC T1 server crypto provider device driver
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBncp\fR device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver
+supporting hardware assisted acceleration of RSA and DSA cryptographic
+operations. This support is built into the UltraSPARC T1 processor.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBncp\fR driver requires the presence of the \fISolaris Cryptographic
+Framework\fR to enable applications and kernel clients to access the provided
+services.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.sp
+.LP
+You configure the \fBncp\fR driver by defining properties in
+\fB/platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/ncp.conf\fR which override the default settings.
+The following property is supported:
+.sp
+.ne 2
+.mk
+.na
+\fBnostats\fR
+.ad
+.RS 11n
+.rt
+Disables the generation of statistics. The \fBnostats\fR property may be used
+to help prevent traffic analysis, but this may inhibit support personnel.
+.RE
+
+.SH NETWORK STATISTICS
+.sp
+.LP
+Solaris network drivers must implement statistics variables. The \fBncp\fR
+driver maintains the following statistics:
+.sp
+.ne 2
+.mk

+.RS 22n
+.rt
+Number of times the queue for MAU X was found full when attempting to submit
+jobs.

+Number of submit job failures on MAU X.
+.RE
+
+.sp
+.ne 2
