  This is fine for non-s390 platforms, but you'll need to have the ICA
hardware.  OpenSSL will get you a software token, which is usually
what experiementers use to start playing with pkcs11.

  This is the header file provided by the kernel for the ICA hardware
device driver.  That device driver is not part of any fedora kernel,
only suse has accepted it.  You can download it from sourceforge CVS
(it requires 2 drivers, leedslite and devica), but these will do you
no good without the hardware.  If you do have the hardware, let me
know and I can help you get it all set up on fedora, otherwise I'd
suggest installing OpenSSL.
