As already mentioned, after installing the fixed packages it works for me. I'm using linux-vpnclient-4.8.00.0490-K9 and a broadcom-wlan-card with ndiswrapper on the latest dapper-kernel. How do you connect otherwise? Before there were the patched packages, I was using network-manager at home, but at university I was connecting via wifi-radar. It's not the best solution, but it worked without uninstalling network-manager.

But maybe you are lucky, and the it-guys in Augsburg are using a configuration, that can be accessed using vpnc - do you know if the configuration-file uses hybrid-mode or certificates? If not, you may find solutions (as far as I remember, it was e.g. Aachen) to get it work without the cisco-client (cisco-client sometimes was freezing my machine, it's proprietary and not well integrated).
