it compiles fine, but when you try to establish a connection it stops with: Initializing the VPN connection. waiting ca. a minute and it goes on with: VPN subsystem is busy or has failed (or something similar) dmesg shows: cisco_ipsec: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. cisco_ipsec: no version magic, tainting kernel. cisco_ipsec: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.0.3 (B) kernel module loaded
I'll try to look into it and see what I can come up with
thx
Could you post your "emerge info" and also your kernel configuration as plain text attachments?

Created attachment 25536 [details] my kernel config file the vpnclient does not work with kernel >=2.6.1-mm5. the problem is known, but there don't seem to be a patch to fix it yet nor has cisco released an updated version of the vpnclient.
Unfortunately, this is something that has to be fixed upstream. I have tried contacting Cisco on this issue, but have not been able to receive any answers on what the problem may be or when this will be fixed. This affects me, also, as I use the VPN Client for connecting to my work VPN. As it stands now, I have to keep a 2.4.x kernel around simply for working from home.
Blame Kent Skaar for pointing me to a possible fix on LMKL... I'm going to add a new ebuild revision and hard mask it some time today. I will definitely need testers once I get the new ebuild in, so I'll let you guys know when I get this up and going.
I just submitted a 4.0.3b-r3 ebuild to CVS which applies the patch from LMKL. Please test
truly sorry, but i am in holidays, so maybe somebody else can test it?
I'm just saying... it works for me... I just want you to make sure it works for you... =]

Oh, no, they broke it again. At least on my box cisco-vpnclient-3des-4.0.3b-r3 doesn't run neither on gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5 nor -2.6.5-r1 The modules loads correct. But executing vpnclient connect <profile> i get the error: bash-2.05b$ vpnclient connect ethz Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.0.3 (B) Copyright (C) 1998-2003 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Does it work in 2.6.5 vanilla?
exactly the same here. i tried different kernelversions from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4.
Well, even the same with 2.6.5 vanilla-source. It runs using 2.6.3-gentoo-r1, but now it seams broken...
Strange... I am writing this right now from my 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 kernel through the VPN to my work. You are having problems with vanilla 2.6.5? Florian, which kernel sources are you trying?
love sources from >2.6.2_rc3 up to 2.6.5_rc3. and plain vanilla kernel 2.6.3, *.4, *.5. nothing worked for me. since i am needing the vpn client working i am now on a 2.4 kernel.
Created attachment 29732 [details] kernel-config working Hi everybody OK, the problem was I was using a wrong config for 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 Now everything works again.
What option do you think it was that fixed it? If there is a particular option, I will make sure to add it to the einfo at the end of the installation. tom: your kernel config came across as garbage. Could you try posting it again?
i retried with 2.6.5-gentoo-dev seems like the problem is gone.
