Hi Milton,

That's correct because the functionality of these plugins is provided by
the openssl plugin on Android.

No, as these plugins provide functionality for the IKEv2 charon daemon
and work solely in userland these have nothing with the "unable to
allocate SPIs from kernel" error message.

That's more likely the problem.  I suppose the kernel lacks some of the
required modules (see [1] for a list).  There is a page on the
CyanogenMod wiki which explains how to build a custom kernel (see [2]).
