I’m trying to use the 4.8.01.0640 on a fully patched OpenSuse 10.3 x86-64. but it gives compilation errors.
Exactly the same as in the above blog!

Also version 4.8.02.0030 does not work!

So anyone a solution?

Hi Jordi,
AFAIK 4.8.01.0640 version does NOT need a patch to work (only on x86 systems). On a 64 bit system i’d recommend using 4.8.00.0490 client (this one needs to be patched).

Have you tried the vpnc client ?

Hi,
I have SuSE 10.3 with 2.6.22.13-0.3-default 64-bit, and I have installed the Cisco VPN “vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9″with the patch “cisco_skbuff_offset.patch”. Up until here, everything worked great.

The problem is that I can only use the Cisco VPN client when I use the ethernet connection “eth0″. If I use the wireless connection “wlan0″ the system freezes.

Anybody has any ideas or patches? I have no idea of what it can be.

Thanks in advance.

What version of vpnclient did u try to compile?

I used vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.00.0490-k9 with the patch vpnclient-linux-2.6.22.diff. Worked perfectly. Give it a go.
