net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des-4.8.00.0490-r1 installs and starts without a problem.ic It also connects to the VPN server without a problem. Connectivity can be verified through ping. The system remains stable as long as the network is not used. However, a network traffic crashes it - computer completely locks up and the caps led start blinking. The system does not respond to the keyboard or the mouse until a hard reboot is done. Specifically, the crash can be caused by accessing www.firefox.com site through lynx. (www.google.com was successful in a single test.) lynx was used in the console mode with neither 'nv' nor 'nvidia' module loaded. The same behavior is observed with Firefox, rdesktop and TightVNC (in the graphics mode, of course). This behavior is observed with sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.24-r1, sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.24-r2, sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.24-r3, sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r8, sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r9 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r2. The machine is a laptop (running on an external power with a charged battery attached). lynx crashes and a kernel panic message is displayed. I was unsuccessful capturing the message. Its end is: Code: 41 8b 04 b0 31 04 b3 44 39 f7 72 f0 31 f6 31 ff 39 ee 73 4b RIP [<ffffffff881633f4>] :cisco_ipsec: CBCDecryptUpdate+0xb4/0x160 RSP <ffffffff805d19c0> CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace 80343564b2ec63ef ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! As a side note: another system (server) has a similar behavior: cisco vpnclient runs successfully somewhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours with all network application running without problems: Firefox, emerge --sync, rdesktop, TightVNC. Then suddenly, the system reboots, without any shutdown (as if someone pressed 'reset' button, or pulled out the power cord and immediately put it back). The system runs 2.6.23-hardened-r6. (Currently, there is no possibility to change the kernel on that machine.)

Created attachment 153339 [details] vpnclient wrapper script I suffered the same problems on my ThinkPad X61 running ~amd64. Replacing the symbolic link /usr/bin/vpnclient, with this shell script it works for me (an many others). See, <a>http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=457&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p3539</a>.

I had the same problem with newest version in portage - upgrading (to newer version, not yet in portage) solved it for me. There you will find a working ebuild and a patch, attached by me, maybe you could try out if these two files solve the problem for you too: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234361

Upgrading cisco-vpnclient-3des to 4.8.02.0030 does not help.
the new vpn client doesnt work for me... Do you know any workaround?

I tried vpnc and it worked in my case.

For me on 2.6.27.52 the version 4.8.00.0490-r1 does not work at all (I do not get the Username prompt whereas with 4.8.01.0640 I do (but loosing connections and the rtl8139 drivr complains a lot, for details see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17652). Finally, with 4.8.02.0030-r1 on 2.6.31.14 my computer locks up completely in few seconds to few minutes (keyboard leds flashing).
