I have noticed another issue with Cisco's VPN for linux, this time in the form of a module that inserts fine but won't connect. /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init status reports a good module but the interface can't be found.
When I saw this my first inkling was to see if I could change the name of the interface it's looking for in the initscript, this made status report good but the client still won't connect to anything.
This is because Cisco, in their infinite "wisdom" decided to hard code the name of the interface into the driver itself.
Your best bet is to figure out what udev rule is forcing the rename...it's probably in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Only other option is to rewrite parts of vpn_ioctl_linux.h to change the device name the driver tries to use to the one it's getting anyway, or change the MAC address and hope /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator doesn't mess with your device when you reload the module.
Matter of fact, it'd be a cool patch to change those on the fly.
Hmm,
