I recently installed ubuntu 11.10 in a laptop. I then had the need to connect that laptop to a cisco based anyconnect VPN. I could have gone the route of trying to install some cisco anyconnect software. I could also just issue
sudo apt-get install network–manager–openconnect-gnome
And then configure the vpn using network-manager. I choose the latter
Hurraayyy for OSS
Awesome! Thank you so much for this tip!
Same as you, I have Ubuntu 11.10 in a laptop and had the need to connect to a cisco based anyconnect VPN. After lots of attempts, finally this concise and well explained document achieved the miracle!
So, once I got connected to the desired VPN, I posted this 🙂
