It looked to me like the first patch was already applied to the 0.3.3
sources but I'll check again properly! sorry about that.

I'll try and discuss this with them. Its not a good idea.

their syntax for the ifconfig tun<x> command is bust. I removed the
word "inet" and it worked for me. But I had an all-site default route
and no packetflows. I think their CISCO_SPLIT_ROUTES model is not quite
right.

I agree with Hubert: this is not a viable upgrade for NetBSD yet, and
the package needs to stay on the previous version until these problems
are fixed. Working Cisco VPN is too useful to loose.
