I'm the one from #270630 bug. Openvpn is not working yet with my server configuration. There are a lot of people using VPN with Ubuntu Hoary in my University and if they can't connect with Intrepid, probably they will use Windows client to connect.

I'd like to help, but I have no idea how I can do this.

In Hoary, I can configure link-mtu, cipher and keysize. In new version I can't and NM-0.7 is logging that parameters from client and server are inconsistent:

Oct 12 15:02:51 apolo nm-openvpn[15415]: WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent this
Oct 12 15:02:53 apolo nm-openvpn[15415]: WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1544', remote='link-mtu 1560'
Oct 12 15:02:53 apolo nm-openvpn[15415]: WARNING: 'cipher' is used inconsistently, local='cipher BF-CBC', remote='cipher AES-256-CBC'
Oct 12 15:02:53 apolo nm-openvpn[15415]: WARNING: 'keysize' is used inconsistently, local='keysize 128', remote='keysize 256'

And then:

Oct 12 15:03:20 apolo nm-openvpn[15415]: [vpn1] Peer Connection Initiated with X.X.X.X:1194

I'll be pleased to help if someone says me how.
