You can set it up using the new built in VPN though, using the steps shown below:

  1. Go to 'System Preferences', then 'Network'.
  2. Click the '+' button to add a new profile. Set 'Interface' to 'VPN' then 'VPN Type' to 'Cisco IPSec', and 'Service Name to 'wireless' (all lower case).
  3. Now set the 'Server Address' to 'vpn.usyd.edu.au'. The username and password are just your UniKey details.
  4. Now go to 'Authentication Settings'. The 'Shared Secret' is 'jacaranda' and 'Group Name' is 'wireless' (both lower case), then click 'Ok'.
  5. Now click 'Apply' and then hit 'Connect'. With any luck you should be prompted for your unikey details and you'll be connected to USyd wireless. Proxy settings work as detailed on the USyd website (or as they did when you had it all working under Leopard).
