After updating to iproute2-2.6.35 my vpnc connection fails to work correctly. A connection is established, but it is dropped after a few seconds with a "No response from target" error. I also noticed that when the vpnc-script is run a "RTNETLINK answers: No such device" error is generated. Switching back to iproute2-2.6.34 resolves the problem.
Please post your emerge --info. Thanks

Next problem, with iproute2-2.6.35 ipv6 tunnel doesn't start. I'm getting: * Creating tunnel he6 ... ioctl: No buffer space available * ERROR: net.he6 failed to start Downgrade to 2.6.34 && rmmod sit fix problem. It looks liike this version is badly damaged
I had the same problem with creating a named sit tunnel. Changing the name to sit1 in /etc/conf.d.net and it worked again. So it looks as though iproute2-2,6.35 may not like sit tunnels named anything but sitn.
In my case tunnel is named "he6", iproute2 still doesn't like it. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0/server, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.35-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.35-gentoo-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_4300_@_1.80GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:45:06 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r3, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.5, 4.4.4-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.34 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fpeel-loops -pipe -ftracer -floop-block -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-strip-mine -fprefetch-loop-arrays" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /home/mythtv/ /usr/share/X11/xkb /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fpeel-loops -pipe -ftracer -floop-block -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-strip-mine -fprefetch-loop-arrays" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests ccache collision-protect distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo" LANG="pl_PL" LC_ALL="pl_PL.ISO-8859-2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en pl" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--inplace -6" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/miro-overlay/staging /usr/local/portage/miro-overlay/portage /usr/local/SUNRISE/maintainer-wanted" SYNC="rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo-portage/" USE="a52 aac acl acpi adns aio apache2 ares aspell async audiofile automount bash-completion bcmath berkdb bittorrent bzip2 caps cgi chroot clamav clamdtop cli cracklib crypt curl cxx daemon dhcp domainkeys dri dts dvd embedded exif exiscan exiscan-acl extras faac faad fam flac fortran ftp gd gdbm gmp gnutls gpm graphite hash iconv idn ieee1394 iproute2 ipv6 javascript jpeg justify logrotate logwatch lzo maildir mmap mmx mmxext modules mouse mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap nagios-dns nagios-ntp nagios-ping nagios-ssh ncurses netpbm network-cron nls nntp nptl nptlonly ogg openmp openssl optimization optimized-qmake pam pcre perl png pop3d posix pppd prelude profile python quotas rar readline reflection samba session sharedmem shorten slang smp sockets spell spf spl sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 stats subtitles svg swat sysfs syslog theora threads tiff tokenizer tools tordns tos transcode unicode unzip urandom usb uudeview vcd vdpau vhosts vim vim-pager vim-syntax visibility vorbis wifi x86 xattr xfs xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xorg xsl xvid xvmc zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" APACHE2_MPMS="worker" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en pl" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" XTABLES_ADDONS="tarpit" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS
not only this... together with a 2.6.35-gentoo kernel the network access to hosts outside the local subnet is no longer working !!! netstat -r, route looks fine but only connections to hosts in the same subnet are possible. reverting to iproute-2.6.34 everything works again.
pptp tunnels and vpn stopped to work with iproute2-2.6.35. Connection showing that /sbin/ip is missing.
Fixed with 2.6.35-r1
I have re-opened the bug as the latest update does not resolve the vpnc problem. Simple things don't seem to work, for example an "ip -s route get 127.0.0.1/32" doesn't return anything with iproute2-2.6.35 but with the previous version the output is as follows: --- # ip -s route get 127.0.0.1/32 local 127.0.0.1 dev lo src 127.0.0.1 cache <local> users 1 mtu 16436 advmss 16396 hoplimit 64 --- Using a symlink may have fixed some of the other problems other were reporting, but the basic functionality doesn't seem to be working for me and vpnc fails to set up a working tunnel.
yeah, i can confirm that 2.6.35-r1 doesn't fix the problem... might this link give a little clue to the solution? http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/61228/
(In reply to comment #10) > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/61228/ The patch there fixes the issue for me, i.e. makes my vpnc connection work again. I'd like to see it included in a -r2 pretty soonish.
Seems upstream settled on this fix: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git;a=commitdiff;h=c73f3e02f8ae25e5daad0367690a3069895dd8a3 My vpnc works with that. Can we get that included in a revbump?
Created attachment 245736 [details, diff] Patch to make vpnc work again.
Created attachment 245737 [details] Include patch.
*** Bug 336121 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
ive added the fix from upstream to 2.6.35-r2. thanks for the link.
