Hello, I've been browsing for a few hours now, and haven't come up with much towards solving this problem.
Basically, I just installed Arch and I got my 4965 wifi to work using Wicd and now am trying to login to my school VPN through VPNC.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated. I have copied some information for your perusal. Thanks.
Error:
When I run: sudo vpnc --debug 3 /etc/vpnc/offcampus.conf
The following is output:
vpnc: can't intialise tunnel interface: Invalid argument
/etc/vpnc/offcampus.conf is my conf file for the connection
# example vpnc configuration file
# see vpnc --long-help for details
Interface name tun0
#IKE DH Group dh2
#Perfect Forward Secrecy nopfs
# You may replace this script with something better

tun is installed, when i run modprobe tun no errors are thrown.
Basically, I have no idea at this point, google results have suggested that I should use the --ifmode tap parameter, but that gives the same error as well.
Thanks all.
