2.6.9-1.11_FC2 does not hang my system and does establish the tunnel with 4.6.00.0045-k9. Starting with 2.6.10-1.8_FC2 and later with 2.6.10-1.9_FC2 I seen the compilation warnings and the hanging system problem. teddy

Hi Teddy,
I have been fighting similar issues. On my system, though, the vpn client hangs the system when I try to start a tunnel under kernel 2.6.9-1.11_FC2. The system does not freeze under kernel 2.6.10-1.9_FC2, but I do get the same compilation warnings, and the tunnel is never successfully created. (I'm using version 4.6 of the vpn client, built from a tarball with "4.6.00.0045-k9" in the name.) For now, I'm keeping a 2.6.8-1.521 kernel around to use when I need a VPN connection. Less than ideal, to say the least.
I'm hoping that Cisco has a newer version of their client software that builds and runs properly under 2.6.10. Failing that, you may be able to use vpnc (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/). I don't know anything about it, just happened across it.

do you have a suggestion for me? Thanks for your help. teddy
