Running on: Linux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686

Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded?
The application was unable to communicate with the VPN sub-system.

Did you start the vpn service first? Here is a script I wrote for myself to login to vpn. Hope this works for you.

#!/bin/sh

dummy=`sudo echo`
currdir=`pwd`
cd /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles/
sudo /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
sudo vpnclient connect vpn_profile_without_extension
cd $currdir
exit

Where do i write that script and put it?

ripgut, just copy and paste that script into your favourite text editor and save it somewhere. (I have a directory in my home called "scripts") Then in a terminal, "cd home/ripgut/scripts" (assuming your user name is ripgut and you placed it in scripts). Once you're in that directory just "sh filename" and it will run.

Plus, you might want to create a symbolic link to the script and place it in /usr/bin so that you can invoke it without specifying the full path for the script. Or, add the "scripts" dir to your PATH env variable.
