Re: OpenVPN in NM CVS.

[j bootlab org]

Hi,

i added ubuntu packages for the OpenVPN plugin to 
http://bootlab.org/~j/NetworkManager-breezy/
so for those running ubuntu breezy, 
just apt-get install network-manager-openvpn

some issues i have,
*general question regaring vpn plugins, do i have to restart
 NetworkManager to make new plugins available? 

*Use LZO compression is always unselected than editing a connection.
 while "Only use VPN connection for..." is always selected.

*convenience, it would be nice if the file chooser dialog would be in
 the last folder, since it will be quite common to have all 3 files in
 one folder. so navigation to it 3 times seems wrong.

*deleting a connection and adding it again does not work.
 only after removing all traces in 
  ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections

*routing did not work for me, while using openvpn with a config file 
 i get:
10.23.0.5  0.0.0.0    255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 tun0
10.23.0.0  10.23.0.5  255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 tun0

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr ...
  inet addr:10.23.0.6  P-t-P:10.23.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.255


 with NetworkManager

10.23.0.5    192.168.1.1     255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0  0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 tun0

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr ...
  inet addr:10.23.0.6  P-t-P:10.23.0.6  Mask:255.255.255.0

 
this was without adding any networks to 
 "Only use VPN connection for..."
