This provides a device 13 that's usually called /dev/hwrng, and which exposes one 14 of possibly several hardware random number generators. 15 16 These hardware random number generators do not feed directly 17 into the kernel's random number generator. That is usually 18 handled by the "rngd" daemon.

generator. It 433 attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy 434 as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its 435 own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number 436 generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is 437 /dev/hwrng. 438 The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package 439 (check your distro, or download from 440 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads 441 /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random. 442
