android + Cisco VPN

We have a normal Cisco VPN at my work. After upgrading my device to 1.6 (Donut) I noticed there are new VPN settings you can use to connect your wireless. The four that are offered currently are PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPSec PSK, and L2TP/IPSec CRT

UNFORTUNATELY we use a standard IPSec over TCP or UDP, and it doesn't use the PSK or CRT file. I need to manually input the groupID and whatnot.

SO, after some googling I found get-a-robot-vpnc which seems to address my issue.

I also found this post and from all I can tell, it has successfully worked for some people.

BUT my device isn't giving me any such love. My current error reads:

D/vpnc service( 5587): Attempt to read vpnc process id did not return anything


we'll see how far I get on this problem. My guess is it's a permissions problem that will be easily solved...
