I wanted to figure out the problem, so I dug a bit... I forgot to mention that I used a manually compiled (make-kpkg) 2.6.13 kernel, so I tried with Debian stock kernels: - 2.6.13-1-686 + latest ieee80211 (m-a) + latest ipw2100 (m-a) works as expected, vpnc doesn't give any error and I'm on the VPN network (because I have access to scientific papers through the University network) - 2.6.14-1-686 (no external modules, see bug #338775) works as expected (same as above) I thought about a problem in my .config, but strangely a manually compiled 2.6.14 with the same .config as the 2.6.13 works without any problem. And the same happens for a 2.6.15-rc1. So, as I still had an old version of the ieee80211 + ipw2100 drivers on the 2.6.13 (old, but younger that the one included in the 2.6.14 kernel), I tried manually recompiling the 2.6.13 with the latest ieee80211 and ipw2100. And now all it works :-D In the meantime I upgraded every new package hit unstable (I upgrade every morning), but I'm sure the problem still persisted before the 2.6.13 recompilation (I double checked, with two different ADSL accesses). I guess the problem wasn't on the vpnc side, but on the ieee80211 and/or ipw2100, but I cannot debug it anymore (and, sincerely, I don't have a lot of time to do it). My suggestion is to close the bug as unreproducible or not-a-bug. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338775
