Some documentation for 2.5 IPSec

As of the (upcoming) 2.5.47 kernel, the new, native Linux IPSec implementation actually works. Bert Hubert has been playing with this code, and has put together a quick HOWTO on how to make it go. Anybody who is interested in a solid, stable IPSec implementation in 2.6 (and almost all of us are, whether we realize it or not) should consider having a look and testing it out.

Ugh, these tools look utterly nasty. Why not just port the freeswan user space stuff to the new API?

what about freeswan ? lost forever ?
it is a very good project, i actually use it to authenticate notebook in my lan trough an internet connection.

I hope that this new stack can reuse the work of freeswan team.

I also hope that the freeswan problem of routing is not present in 2.5+ implementation
