UPDATE: A new client for linux (4.8.02.0030) is out. You no longer need the patch for 2.6.24+ kernel (vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff). However a patch for 64 bit systems is still required and the CFLAGS variable in Makefile must be changed to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
I assume that you have the latest version 4.8.01.0640 and the required packages for compiling.
If you [...]
UPDATE: A new client for linux (4.8.02.0030) is out. You no longer need the patch for 2.6.24+ kernel on 32 bit systems. However a patch for 64 bit systems is still required. Please click on the link right below to see the howto for 64bit.
UPDATE: 64 bit systems are a bit more complicated, please see [...]
I was playing around with Arch linux recently. It’s a minimalistic distro which lets you configure your system the way you want. Advatanges are booting time ( man it’s fast ), rolling release system so it doesn’t require you to install new release every 6 months like other distros, good package management tool alongside with [...]
Errm … with a patch. Cisco hasn’t released a new version for Linux yet.
Quick guide: ( I assume you knew all the requirements to install the Cisco client )
Go to the extracted vpn directory
wget http://tuxx-home.at/projects/cisco-vpnclient/cisco_skbuff_offset.patch
patch < cisco_skbuff_offset.patch
sudo ./vpn_install
That’s it.
This laptop has a Broadcom 4311 wireless adapter and it doesn’t work under openSUSE. An ifconfig eth1 up shows
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
It turns out that we must patch the firmware although the bcm43xx driver is included in kernel 2.6.22:
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/bcm43xx/fwcutter/bcm43xx-fwcutter.tar.bz2
tar -xzf bcm43xx-fwcutter.tar.bz2
bcm43xx-fwcutter/bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta -3.130.20.0.o
Reboot, and voila … there is wireless

I must say incredible good looking. Even better than Windows typography. Heck, if Ubuntu’s fonts were this good … Maybe because of the 19″ monitor ?
The only thing you need to do is to install MS font pack and the default dpi setting need to be tuned. But it looks so good that I’m thinking [...]
Update: as i guessed, this appears to be a bug from revision 4.8.00.0640, the older 0490 works just fine on my Ubuntu 64 bit (with the patch of course)
Just got the new openSUSE 10.3 on my work PC with 64 bit kernel set up and like i expected, there are errors during compiling the [...]
