In addition to the comments already made, if you want to stay with the 
Cisco client, see if you can locate version 4.8.x.

4.8.x is required in order to work with the newer FC4 kernels.

There are some patches floating around, but if you can locate the above, 
it will be easier to maintain moving forward.

HTH,
