Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

On Hardy, using n-m-ovpn: 0.3.2svn2342-1ubuntu4

When an OpenVPN connection is established, the others are greyed out.

I have a scenario where I need to tunnel one OpenVPN connection through another OpenVPN connection. Another use-case I have is the need to connect to multiple remote networks simultaneously.

Both of these work with the Win32 client, so I know it works fine with OpenVPN in general.

It should also be possible to have a vpn connection to different type of networks, for example openvpn and vpnc

Similar issue. I have two VPN connections that I'd like used for different subnets (ie. not chained vpn's one thru another).
