Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

A script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ get wrong information for a vpn-connection (tun0):

pre-up:
seems not to exist
up:
tun0 vpn-up (maybe this is ok)
down:
seems not to exist
post-down:
eth0 vpn-down (what is totaly wrong)

I noticed it by checking the tun0 interface with "ifconfig tun0" on vpn-down

I think it would be better not to use vpn-up/-down because it irritate and I think with interface name tun/tap it is clear enought.
So id should be like this:
tun0 pre-up
tun0 up
tun0 down
tun0 post-down
