googling a little i've found that https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vtun/+bug/57974 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8205403&forum_id=1827 Summary : it's a vtun bug, disabling compression helps. Using zlib instead of lzo could help, but i dont find USE flags that could help me do that on gentoo.
Does 2.6 work?
I'd recommend trying out the 3.0.1 experimental version. It is based on 3.0.0 and has a native support for lzo2. There's an ebuild here, please try it out: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179901
BTW, I'm on amd64 and it works perfectly.
3.0.1 is now in tree, please test.
