Dave, I did, vpnc works for some of the VPNs, but not for the others. Nature of my work requires to deal with multiple RA solutions. Thanks for the advice though.
Here is what I got from Cisco: "Unfortunately it is not as simple as providing you with which options to compile the kernel with. Since the issue is the kernel is locking up it is something fundamentally wrong with either the updated kernel code or the vpn client." and then they said that it will take loooong time to fix it, because Cisco VPN client is not a priority. (everyone is moving towards SSL VPN solutions....).

The binary cisco module has an hurrendous track record of problems with the Fedora kernel, as it seemingly makes assumptions about networking internals that constantly change upstream, leading to all sorts of horrible corruption bugs. vpnc isn't perfect, but for many cisco setups, it's adequate, and does all the complicated stuff in userspace.
