I cannot get the cisco kernel vpn module to compile on an
AMD 64-bit system running Suse 9.2, kernel 2.6.8.

The install script gives several 'warning 64-bit' messages.

Does the cisco VPN linux client support AMD 64-bit?

If so, what do I need to know to get it to compile.

If not, does anyone know of Cisco's plans to support it
in the future.

Thanks,
Peter

Sadly, no.  I spoke to the cisco tech support folks and they said not only d
o they not support 64-bit linux, they don't seem to even have it on their pr
oduct roadmap.

The only problem, as far as I can tell, is that they bundle two 32-bit compi
led libraries with the client.  I asked if there was any way that those coul
d be compiled 64-bit for Linux and offered to help them get it working and w
as told that he would talk to the development group and get back to me.  Tha
t was 2 months ago.

I'm using plain, old vpnc and having mediocre results.  I find that when it 
connects correctly it works pretty well, but often times if my connection is
 dropped it will reconnect, but not transmit any packets to the remote netwo
rk.  Patience seems to be the only cure.

Also, for some reason I couldn't reach any networks but the remote vpn netwo
rk (i.e. all external traffic was being dropped).  I made a small change to 
the vpnc-connect script to only route the vpn networks through the tunnel an
d everything works now.

I hadn't found kvpnc, so I'll give that a shot and see what that brings.
