This package contains the patches for the Linux kernel to get the necessary kernel support to use FreeSWan. If you want to build a kernel module for IPSec, it is much easier to use the freeswan-modules-source package instead. This kernel-patch package should probably only be used when building a non-modular kernel or when compiling IPSec non-modular.
This package is patched to contain the modular extensions patch by JuanJo Ciarlante which contains extra cipher and message digest algorithms that can be loaded into the kernel as modules.
