I have version 4.0.3 of the Cisco VPN client, and it seemed to install fine (including compiling the necessary modules) under FC2. However, when I try starting the "vpnclient_init" service, it barfs like this:
[##root@pooh## /etc/xinetd.d/] /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /usr/local/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec': -1 Invalid module format Failed (insmod)
Googling turned up nothing other than an unanswered post on LKML in April. Searching this list didn't turn up any discussion of this problem. Any idea what's going on here? (Even explaining what might cause an "invalid module format" might help.
Thanks, Rich
You want to get the latest 4.0.4 client. This client supports 2.6 kernels. FYI, if you also use SuSe their is a different client.
good luck.
vpnclient-linux-4.0.4.A-k9.tar.gz Linux VPN Client 4.0.4.A (2.6 kernel supported)
vpnclient-linux-4.0.4.B-k9.tar.gz Linux VPN Client 4.0.4.B (SuSe 9.1 support)

The 2.6 kernel requires modules which are specifically compiled with a new format. Such modules have a .ko suffix, so if your module is "cisco_ipsec.o" instead of "cisco_ipsec.ko", then it is an old format module, and will not work with the new kernel.
