Cisco VPN Client on Ubuntu (Gutsy)

I recently have been endowed with a company laptop and as such I was in a hurry to install Ubuntu Gutsy besides the usual suspect (read Windows). Good news is that everything has gone smoothly (or almost); bad news was that I couldn't install Cisco VPN Client, having the same issue as VMware Workstation — kernel module building was breaking due to changes in the latest Linux 2.6.22 kernels.

So after some googling around I found the solution — a neat patch which allows compiling Cisco VPN Client. Thank god the guys at Cisco were kind smart enough to give object/source code for their IPsec kernel module and not binary modules.
