As a workaround, you can refuse eap by adding the 'refuse-eap' with the
value 'yes' to gconf for the connection.  If you would like the VPN to
not be the default route, add an IPv4 route for the connection, and only
traffic for that route will go through the VPN; all the rest will go
through the default device.
