knetworkmanager gives wrong parameter to vpnc

[Alwin]

Binary package hint: network-manager-kde

Hi,

I'd setup a cisco vpn connection via knetworkmanager applett. Parameters were ok, but didn't connect. I tested the config with commandline vpnc - worked fine.

After a while I found in syslog:

Nov 3 22:56:40 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc'...
Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc), PID 14498
Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' just appeared, activating connections

Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'unibonn' failed to connect: 'property 'Disable NAT Traversal' invalid or not supported'.
Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (wlan2): writing resolv.conf to /sbin/resolvconf
Nov 3 22:56:41 toni-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'alwin' (wlan2) as default for routing and DNS.

eg., knetworkmanager or whatever gives "Disable NAT Traversal" which seems not supported with vpnc in Ubuntu 8.10 so it could not connect.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. The KDE3 version of KNetworkManager has been discontinued by its original authors. This unfortunately means that there will be no more bugfix releases, and updates in general will be limited to those fixing security flaws.

While we cannot fix your bug, the good news is that the applet has been totally rewritten for KDE4 in the upcoming Kubuntu 9.10 release. There is a good chance that this bug is no longer an issue with the new applet. If you find any similar or new issues with the applet included in Kubuntu 9.10, we would politely ask you to file them as new bugs against the "plasma-widget-networkmanagement" package.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
