hello there,
is there a guidance to install a vpn client on my zaurus? i use the delivered standard rom
and read something about a kernel update (link to japanese site) and cross compiling
for the the tun device, this is too much for me:-) please help ...
-
okay, i am sorry, no kernel update is needed. you have to
download the kernel sources from the japanese site, extract
the sources for the tun device and to compile it. maybe
i will try it.

just finished a tun.o module see my post in a different thread (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4506&st=0&).

I also need a working VPN client, as my corporate wireless lan is secured through a VPN concentrator.
I have seen links to a vpnc package, but could not get it to install correctly. I also found OpenVPN, which I did get installed, but configuration on it reads like either cuneiform or klingon, I haven't decided which.
If anyone has any precompiled binaries or "vpn the quick way" tips I know I'd appreciate it immensely. When it comes to video playback, emulators, etc I'm content to fiddle with things until it works, but connectivity is a bit touchier.

I just finished going through all this myself. Here's (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~oliver/vpnc.html) the walkthrough I used, which worked fine. The tun.o and ipsec.o on that page worked for me, though the binaries didn't.
Here's my binaries, if you want to try your luck with them:

http://www.softcom.net/users/nye/knormal/vpnc-connect (http://www.softcom.net/users/nye/knormal/vpnc-connect)

Ok, using your binaries, the tun.o and ipsec.o from the walkthrough page you provided, I managed to make some headway.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
On the up side, the binaries seem to work. No complaints or abnormal execution.
Initially it complained that I had an authentication error in the group credentials, but that turned out to be bad info from one of my network admins.
I have my personal username, the ip of the concentrator, the group ID, and the group secret declared in the /etc/vpnc.conf file.
I run vpnc and it prompts me for my password, as it should. I put it in (and have confirmed said username and password on the vpn concentrator using a laptop wireless connection) and then the vpnc app hangs. It goes to a newline, and then sits indefinately.
The same occurs if I use the vpn-connect script rather than just directly executing the program (I realize that if directly executed the routing wouldn't work right, I was just doing that to see if it might be the script hanging, not vpnc)
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks!

the link to your binaries doesn't work, does anyone have working vpnc for sl-6000 binaries
