Cisco vpnclient versions 4.6.02.0030 & 4.6.03.0190 fails on kernels Linux kutina
2.6.13-suspend2-r5-CrysBlade #1 Sun Oct 23 21:05:00 CEST 2005 i686 Mobile
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux &
2.6.12-suspend2-r4-StarDust.

I tried to find problem, but with no success. I discovered that not even single
packet is sent. So propably the problem is on module/kernel core interface

Reproducible: Always

1./etc/init.d/vpnclient
2.vpnclient connect <profile>
3.

Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-24 09:54:24 UTC
Can you try using vanilla-sources or gentoo-sources?  I cannot support every
random patchset out there.

I'm sorry but the computer I use is a notebook and suspend2 is very important
for me. Please don't be confused by kernel name - it's standart
2.6.13-suspend2-r5 from portage. And the diference against gentoo-sources is
only suspend2 (Software Suspend 2 + Gentoo patchset sources). 
I tried to compile the cisco vpnclient against standart gentoo-sources-2.4.28
which I use on my FW but it didnt even compile.
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-20 13:52:27 UTC
OK... the point is that you really should try to contact Cisco on this instead.  If there is already a patch available for this (even from 3rd-party sources) then I have no problem adding the patch, but there isn't much I can really do to resolve this myself.  One thing you cold try is upgrading the version of your client to the latest version.
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-20 18:10:25 UTC
I know it's been forever, but is this still an issue with newer kernels/client?  You never really responded to that request, so I'm going to assume that it *is* fixed.  If it is not, feel free to REOPEN this bug.
