Ubuntu Feisty Fawn vs. Cisco VPN Client

I upgraded a machine to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.10) today and was having trouble recompiling the Cisco VPN client. Thanks to this thread, I went to this blog post and applied this patch and everything was fine.

I must admit that applying some random patch to one's VPN client inspires a moderate amount of queasiness, but fortunately the patch is simple enough to understand so one can be confident no mischief is involved.

I did the same thing and it worked for me. I was skeptical at first but the code was easy to read and the VPN connection worked

You could have contacted Cisco's Tech support and they would have pointed you to my patch

So, trust me...

This is indeed my concern: Doing good things, so all people will trust me and afterwards, go for world domination

I'm glad that I could help you out with this patch!

regards,
Alex

Umm ... 7.10? April post, a week after Gutsy (7.10) was named. I am guessing you meant 7.04?

Yeah, you got me. I must have been dazed from the upgrade.
