I'm having trouble getting the vpn module to load on my laptop. when i
load the module cisco_ipsec.ko it throws me a error -1 invalid module
format or something like that...the only thing i can think of is that i
might have changed something in my kernel sources between building the
kernel and building the ipsec module.
Thanx

Cisco's VPN client most likely doesn't work with 2.6 kernels. Use the
open source equivalent "vpnc" instead.

Instructions are at:

FWIW,
I've had success with the CISCO VPN client on kernel 2.6, but I still prefer
vpnc.
