LEAP isn't a VPN technology. it's a wireless authentication mechanism  
used in conjunction with cisco aironet wireless access points. LEAP  
== Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol.

while it's a licensable technology, i'm not aware of a linux  
implementation independent of the cisco aironet wireless cards.  you  
could get yourself an aironet 350 card and use the cisco linux  
wireless tools.  fwiw - LEAP support is built into OSX as well.
