Bug Description

Network-manager has been updated to version 0.7 (from 0.6.4) in a recent update in hardy for the Dell mini. Unfortunately this broke Network-manager-openvpn (still based on 0.6.5). The version of network-manager-openvpn in the current repository is 0.3.2. It should be upgraded to version 0.7 from intrepid.

Without a patch, VPN does not work any longer!

A fix would be to backport also Network-manager-openvpnc from intrepid.

I recompiled Network-manager-openvpn straight from intrepid source (v.0.7) and it should work (please test) I didn't make any diff, since the source is untouched from intrepid.
