There was a fix submitted to the fedora-list for the Cisco client that has a similar error....  --> error: 'struct sk_buff' has no member named 'stamp'

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-November/msg02667.html

It may be that a similar patch can be written for the error --> 'struct sk_buff' has no member named 'security'. But I lack the experience to really dig into this and would appreciate some help.

The Apani client (evaluation copy - fully functional but only stays connected for 5 minutes ) can be downloaded from the following link.

https://support.apani.com/cgi-bin/form.cgi?form=eval&prod=nortelvpn

I did check with Apani Customer Support and received the following response...

Stephen,

There were changes starting in the 2.6.13 kernel that caused the Client to no longer work.  For Fedora Core 4, we recommend using the 2.6.11 kernel that was provided with the original release.

Sincerely,
Janet

$95 for the client and 1 year maintenance....  yeah, right...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
