It looked to me like the first patch was already applied to the 0.3.3
sources but I'll check again properly! sorry about that.

their syntax for the ifconfig tun<x> command is bust. I removed the
word "inet" and it worked for me. But I had an all-site default route

I agree with Hubert: this is not a viable upgrade for NetBSD yet, and
the package needs to stay on the previous version until these problems
are fixed. Working Cisco VPN is too useful to loose.
