Also, another thing to think about:

How many crypto checking devices do you need? If your motherboard
already comes with one, why not trust / rely on it once for all device
firmware? I realize silicon folks want to sell you kitchen sinks with
granite counter tops included, but if working on spiffy open designs,
I figure having the freedom to trust / rely on some other device's
components might yield pretty cheap and flexible solutions.
