What BIOS version? I've got an i5 version here that had A07, and /proc/cpuinfo wasn't showing support. I updated the BIOS to A08 right now, and it's showing up now.
Thank you! The update to A08 did in fact add AES-NI.
The upgrade was very complicated but it seems to have worked; for any viewing this the eventual solution that worked was the one described here: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php

Thanks for the tip (I couldn't find anything on this issue anywhere). I'm running A07.
I will try to update to A08. As I understand it, this requires downloading an EXE and running it from a DOS liveusb?
