Kernel 2.6.29 + client 4.81.0640 causes crash

[joseche]

I have the same problem, with:
kernel: 2.6.28-14 SMP
vpnclient: 0640 (it should be 4.8.02 according to the update in this thread !

My 2-cents here are: my computer didn't freeze today, all day, when using the ethernet !, so I guess this is about wireless cards.

Finally, I tried to go with vpnc, the open source cisco compatible vpn client. Looks like you can configure it even with ssl/certificate support. Worked for me
See the instructions here if you are interested in VPNC
http://www.toolsbysk.com/skforums/forum/Blah.pl?m-1247385296

VPNC dosent support client certificate authentication

--auth-mode <psk/cert/hybrid>
Authentication mode:
· psk: pre-shared key (default)
· cert: server + client certificate (not implemented yet)
· hybrid: server certificate + xauth (if built with openssl
support)

The --auth-mode=cert is needed for this, but is not implemented yet.

Hello,

I got a Lenovo T400, I installed Fedora 11 and trying to connect the VPN.
[root@alin-ro ~]# uname -a
Linux alin-ro.ro.oracle.com 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25 04:43:32 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@alin-ro vpnclient]# grep "VERSION" config.h
#define VERSION "4.8.02"
[root@alin-ro vpnclient]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz

I have tested the issue disabling one of the cores and it is reproducible.
After the vpnclient connect command the computer freezes.

Thank you,
Alin Ilie

I am seeing the same thing as everyone else. I would also like to add that vpnc doesn't work with RSA SecurID (which is why i need to use cisco vpn).

Code: Select all

Hi everyone, just wanted to add myself to the "me too" group. freezes with 4.81.0640 on kernel 2.6.31-12 (Ubuntu karmic). Hope there is a fix sometime soon! Thanks for all your hard work by the way.
