Arnold: I know you think you asked a simple question, but I don't think things are actually working they way you think they are, and it could change the answer.
Where did you get the card? Is it a copy of something that ran on someone else's Beaglebone, that already had a compiled version of SoftEther VPN Server on it? Or, did you actually build/make/compile the copy of SoftEther on the card? What else is on the card?
