Hi all,

The kernel module you are trying to build is incompatible with your kernel. The data structure element names have changed.

That patch failed as the diff doesn't mtch the code you are trying to patch (diffenet revision no doubt).

I think that code is probably too old to work withthe current kernel. *Looks* like more than a tweak.

Looks like you don't need that module at all.

Here - this should work on fedora too.

I would avoid the cisco client and use vpnc. The cisco client for Linux is often out of date--at one point, though this was a few years ago, it wouldn't build without a lot of work on 64 bit or SMP machines.



NetworkManager's VPN client should also work, at least it does for one of our developers using Ubuntu.

For some info on vpnc see my own page at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/vpnc.html
