As far as I understand it's about DL 1.2. There is StrongSwan package ( not
ipsec-tools ) and it's up-to-date (2.8.8). I can say nothing about how it
currently works, unfortunately, but hopefully it's ok. OpenSwan worked perfectly.

never use it, sorry

Well, at least in 1.3 it doesn't work due to few files absence.
I guess it should help  - untested.

Oops... Should be fixed by the following:

Have a look at DL 1.3  ( kernel 2.6.24, ipsec-tools etc)
