Hi,

I use the Cisco VPN Client 4.9 on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and all the
latest security patches installed. Since 3 Days I experience an occasional
kernel panic when booting the system. I have -v active so I see, that
'loading cisco ipsec module' is the last message before the panic.
I also have vmware fusion installed which also binds itself to the network
interfaces and it does not happen every time. Anybody else experinces this?

Regards,

Yes, many times. The Cisco VPN Client caused panics when I had a G4
desktop, a G4 laptop, a G5 desktop, and dual Xenon desktop. I'm pretty
sure that Cisco doesn't give a crap.

First, it periodically self-destructs and causes a panic on boot.
Delete /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext and re-install.

Second, it panics if there's traffic to multiple network interfaces at
once. I've found it only safe to use if my LAN network port is disabled.


Fortunately my employer also supports a VPN connection with a Juniper
Networks client. I've had no problems with that.
