Roaming & VPN

[Martin Hochreiter <linuxbox wavenet at>]

Hi!

I am using the network manager applet 0.7.0 from the ubuntu intrepid 
repository.
I was very impressed of the advancements of 0.7.0 and want to ask 2 
questions:

VPN:
I had in my profile a VPN network connection created with 0.6.
This connection was working in 0.7.0 until 2 days ago (automatic update 
to 0.7~~svn200810)
Now I get "The vpn service was invalid" immediately after clicking on 
the vpn entry
(additionally I can't create a new connection - the button is disabled)
- what's wrong here?

Roaming:
I have many access points in my company, running with the same ssid and 
network setups
on different channels for roaming.
When I use windows or apple mac, the network managing "daemons" (if you 
can call that so in windows)
are switching without any delay to the strongest signal.
With the network-manager 0.7 I have to disable the wlan and rejoin the 
wlan again to switch to the
strongest access point (and that is often only possible after restart of 
the machine).
Can somebody give me a hint here please?
