The Cisco vpn client is *very old* software. It hasn't worked out of the box in several years because they continue to make depricated system calls and just generally don't keep up with kernel updates. I'm sure someone will come up with another work-around in the code to make the newest kernel work fairly soon. Otherwise, I would advise that unless you have a specific need for the Cisco client, use the Cisco VPN client plugin that comes with NetworkManager (NetworkManager-vpnc). It will import settings from a cisco .pcf configuration file and works impressively well. The only time I haven't been able to use it with a Cisco VPN gateway was almost 3 years ago with an old employer who was using a vpn tunneling setting that was considered old back then.
