first, decide whether you want to use the SuSE FreeS/WAN RPM, *which contains the kernel modules as well*
Not necessarily - at least with the newer kernels, ipsec.o is part of the *kernel RPM*, not of the FreeS/WAN RPM; to check this, just try something like "rpm k_deflt -ql | grep ipsec.o".
or install it manually. The SuSE RPM (especially for 7.2) is a little behind the current FreeS/WAN distro, but that may not matter to you.
Take a look at http://www.suse.com/~garloff/linux/FreeSWAN/ "IPsec modules and packages for SuSE Linux 7.2"
These are FreeS/WAN 1.91 packages (IIRC, SuSE 7.2 used version 1.90).
In addition, if you're using the SuSE kernels, you should get their newest official 2.2.x oder 2.4.2 from the FTP update site (which contain the 1.91 modules as well, IIRC; you probably shouldn't use the modules on the Garloff web page in that case...)
