IPSec is a complex standard and sometimes interoperability between different IPSec stack is difficult to handle.

OpenVPN (http://openvpn.sf.net/) is an excellent alternative to IPSec and there is a client/server for all the classical free operating system but also the Windows proprietary operating system. If you are planning to secure a wireless network, think about it. You can make an easy mixture between ChilliSpot (http://www.chillispot.org/) and OpenVPN.... give you an excellent and useable security for protecting wireless network.
