1 Cryptoloop is - and always was - a kind of kludge. If possible, you should

3 stock kernels.

5 BTW: The export restrictions have been lifted a long time ago. The problem
6 is just that there is no "official" crypto api in 2.4. So it's always
7 patched up kernels with changing interfaces.
8 Maybe you have to use something like -e blowfish-ecb or blowfish-cbc.
