        I have the similar problem when connecting my I-mate to usb for
        charging,
        the network manager recognize it as a sync network and I loose
        the
        connection on eth0, after few seconds it reconnect to eth0, but
        every few
        minutes it disconnect and reconnect.

Dead peer detection?  There should be an indication
in /var/log/messages.

Try adding 

        DPD idle timeout (our side) 0

to /etc/vpnc/<connection config>.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345281 and (if you use
NetworkManager) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403661.
