Team... Early in the year for it, but I have a doozy of a question around cryptography (specifically random number generation) for the MC9090. To cut a long story short, have we implemented the following two IOCTLs into WM6 for the MC9090: KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_GET_RANDOM_SEED or KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_GET_HWENTROPY ? Thanks in advance! -JP

I see that in MC70 6.1, IOCTL_HAL_GET_RANDOM_SEED is implemented. It returns a 4 byte(max) random seed (the current high freq counter). IOCTL_HAL_GET_HWENTROPY is not implemented. This should apply for MC9090 6.1 too.
