We ran the DSA speed test with OpenSSL 0.9.6 on several platforms here.  The
FreeBSD test here succeeded for 512 bit and 1024 bit DSA, and failed only
for 2048 bit DSA (which the Cryptoswift card is not designed for).  However,
when I examined the test results cross-platform, I found that some platforms
had failures for 512 bit DSA, while succeeding for 1024 bit DSA, and, on
further examination, the difference appeared to be related to the firmware
version of the card, rather than to the platform on which it was installed.

As for the DSA problem ... not sure off the top of my head. Could you
please first check that "speed dsa1024" works? If that does, then it's
something subtle about the code/API, if it doesn't work it's probably
something more basic. Maybe someone else try this (ie. someone who has a
CryptoSwift card? I don't have one so can't really second guess what's
going on here without more information).

Cheers,
Geoff
