U guys have got to be kidding! (I mean it in a good way!)

I just signed up to see if this was on track or if i can help with 
something.
I have the code (from the anon git source) building nicely and was just 
about to start hacking.

Is there any particular issue tracking this or is it solely in a 
considering it phase?

| A useful feature for VPN config which is kinda related, would be the 
ability to define a preferred real connection to carry the VPN. Then you 
would be able to just request VPN connection in NM and it would first 
establish the underlying connection.

| Windows has a feature like this in the form of "dial this connection 
first" in the VPN setup dialog.

managing the VPN auto-reconnect case.

| Just a thought...
