Let me answer your question by stating my ignorance; "kernel-module mismatch"
is something I haven't seen before this week. The module symbol system is
meant to provide a safety net, and it provides a more accurate determination
of a module's compatibility than "kernel version" does, which is easily
changed in the Makefile. I don't know what has changed in these kernel
versions to prompt this sensitivity. Can anyone shed some light on this?

However, I've only seen this with RedHat 8.0 kernels, and I'm surprised to
hear you report it with 7.3, 2.4.18-10. Especially, if you have these modules
running on other 2.4.18-10 systems! (Are they all doing this? That wasn't
clear.)

FreeS/WAN 1.99 will have a code correction to address this. We are going to
be releasing 1.99 on Monday. (crosses fingers)

For the time being, you could manually "insmod -f ipsec" - I don't expect
you'll have any further symbol conflicts.
