Cisco VPN Client unable to load kernel module in FC5
Good Day!
1st off i have done about 6 hours of resarch over the last couple days trying to figure this out. I had a very similiar issue with FC2 or FC3 a year and a half back. Please let me know if I am just missing something easy.
First my company requires the use of the Cisco VPN client so vpnc is not an option. i am running FC5, 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp.
Hereis the installation utilizing Cisco's installation script:
Code:
[root@fedora vpnclient]# ./vpn_install
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.00 (0490) Linux Installer

In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the
kernel headers for the version of the kernel you are running.
For RedHat 6.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux by default
For RedHat 7.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4 by default
For Suse 7.3 users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.10.SuSE by default
Directory containing linux kernel source code []/usr/src/kernels/2.6.17- 1.2187_FC5-i686/
* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".
* Modules will be installed in "/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp/CiscoVPN".
* The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.
* Kernel source from "/usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2187_FC5-i686/" will be used to build the module.
Is the above correct [y]y

After it is complete and I get run the vpnclient_init script I get this error message
Code:
sh ./vpnclient_init start

Failed (insmod)
Off the top of my head dmesg shows:
Code:
cisco_ipsec: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
I found many users with this problem with a few different distro's, but no real answers. Cisco has nothing on this. My employer says I should take my windows laptop home and use that instead.....
One user got his VPN client to work with Ubuntu pathcing the interceptor.c file but it did not work for my version of the VPN Client. The patch won't work at all.
