Well, I'm not running Intrepid yet, but I did upgrade to NM .7 on Hardy and 
had problems with it.  I successfully downgraded to .6.6 and fixed my issues 
(most of them anyway).   It is kind of a pain to downgrade, but it can be 
done.  I did have one problem after downgrading though - I was unable to 
create *new* VPNs.  I already had some created before upgrading to .7 and 
those work OK, but I could not get new ones configured after the switch.
