Kernel 2.6.8-1.521 breaks Cisco VPN client...

[Kim B. Nielsen]

That's oddd...

I've experienced my behaviour on two different laptops now. For some 
reasen, the wireless has worked perfectly in both cases, but not the wire...
The laptops are from two different manufacturers (Dell and IBM) So 
somehow I don't think it's a unique problem related to one specific 
laptop or network card.
