As it turns out, Openswan only releases the source and patches, nobody
has volunteered RPMs/SRPMs. Not that I'm lazy, but I also have to
support wlan-ng and pptpclient on this laptop... no room for a lot of
conflicting kernel patches. :)
I managed to find a src.rpm for FreeSWAN 2.02 which appears to
"pre-problem". In case anyone needs it (now or later via archive),
here's the link:
