Cisco vpn with Core 2 2.6.5 kernel

[Brian Anderson]

Could you explain this a bit more?

I downloaded the 4.0.4a client and it builds and start for me on fedora 
core 2 test 3, but it freezes up a strange times (large listings from 
'ls -l' or large amounts of output from a compile).  Would this MTU 
setting cause that?  What should the MTU be?

On another note, has anyone noticed that the DNS lookup is strange with 
this client.  Sometimes host lookup is fast, sometimes it takes long 
time.  Perhaps the MTU problem again?
