[Openswan Users] ipsec manual: fatal error in "vpn_manual": no IPsec-enabled interfaces found

[sreenivasulu kesineni]

Hi Paul,
           Thanks for your quick response.  I am using manual because my
Gateway doesn't have IKE support. I have tried with the workaround you have
suggested but I still get the same error. Do you have any idea which version
of  2.6 works for manual mode?
             Any other suggestions.

Thanks,
Sreeni.
