You need patched freeswan userspace tools in order to use them with the Linux 2.6 native IPsec or its backport. According to /usr/share/doc/freeswan/README.Debian.gz, the patch has been included in the Debian freeswan package since version 2.01-2. You also need to install ipsec-tools: http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/ipsec-tools Please be aware that my experience with freeswan is a bit dated, all of the above is taken from the documentation or mailinglists.
