Hi Federico and Tobias,
You have been successful to make the tunnel with froyo or gingerbread? I have
been successful to make the tunnel between 2.2 device and a ubuntu machine but
when I ported everything on gingerbread (using Nexus S), I could not get charon
running on it.
@Tobias: please help.

Regards,
Nitin
