I am trying to compile the Cisco vpnclient on my Opensuse 11.2 and (after some troubles) I got the module compiled and installed but when I try to load with insmod I got this error <> I am able to use the vpnclient forcing the module with modprobe -f cisco_ipsec but I'd prefer to solve the 'invalid format' original problem. I 'googled' around and it seems related with this warning during vpn_install script "WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions." I have these rmps: kernel-syms-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 kernel-firmware-20090821-4.1.noarch kernel-default-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 kernel-debug-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 linux-kernel-headers-.6.31-3.4.noarch kernel-source-.6.31.12-0.2.1.noarch kernel-pae-devel-.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 kernel-default-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.i586 Do you have any idea?

Another option might be to check out vpnc (it's in the oss repo available through zypper). At work we have a cisco VPN and vpnc connects t

The "cert auth mode" refers to the terms used in the vpnc man page, i.e. server + client certificates. The "cert auth mode" has not been implemented for vpnc, otherwise we would just use vpnc and avoid the headache that follows. openconnect is another alternative, but it does not support IPSec, only HTTPS/SSL. This HOWTO https://gist.github.com/2718029 is written with the aim to provide a single document to describe all the steps required, instead of having to search many different things on the Internet. This HOWTO was written from the perspective of an openSUSE 12.1 user, running a 3.1.10-1.9-desktop x86_64 kernel. The author does not claim to be an expert on any terms used, so if you find a mistake then please submit a patch. Get the certificate provided by CompanyA The company we are trying to connect to should provide us with some sort of a certificate, e.g. certificate.pfx. This type of certificate is a PKCS12 certificate which bundles the CA certificate for server authentication, the client/user certificate as well as the primary key. Save it somewhere on disk, e.g.: /tmp/certificate.pfx Install and prepare kernel-source for our linux distro In order to "compile" (Cisco calls it "install") the Cisco IPSec kernel module (see later section) we need the kernel sources for our distro. In openSUSE 12.1 do the following: sudo zypper install kernel-source Make sure the version that will be installed is the same as the version we are currently running: uname -r When the kernel-source has been installed, execute the following as root: cd /usr/src/linux-

I installed it on my notebook and one of my workstations, both of which had Windows installed previously. I'm not dual booting on those machine, they're 100% Ubuntu now. After error inserting cisco_ipsec getting everything setup and running nicely, I realized I had no way of connecting to the Cisco PIX VPN we have at work. This is really important for me to be able to do, my job depends on it. I immediately went to Google and started searching. Turns out a nice fellow named Alexander Griesser has created a patch for the Cisco VPN client. The most recent CIsco VPN client for linux won't compile with kernels 2.6.19 or newer. There's really not much of a difference between his instructions and this how-to. However, I'm including more detailed instructions for those who may not be familiar with compiling software on Linux. Here's the steps I took to get the Cisco VPN Client to work under Unbutu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). In all reality, this should work with any version of Ubuntu, not just 7.04. I used this same method to get the Cisco VPN Client working on Ubuntu 8.04. Note: A $ at the beginning of a line signifies a command to be run from the terminal. Download vpnclient-linux-4.8.00.0490-k9.tar.gz (mirror) to your home directory. Open a terminal window and unt
