Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 6
NetworkManager 0.7.0
By default, the Add button in the VPN tab is disabled if OpenVPN and other packages are not installed. Instead of disabling the Add button, perhaps it would be better to ask the user if he/she would like NM to install the needed packages automatically. Kind of like how the codec manager works for media files.
I'm guessing this should belong in the Wishlist category, but I found no way of marking at such, so I apologize if this shows up on the wrong mailing list.

I was about to file the same suggestion. Showing a "VPN connections" section but not being able to do anything from it is confusing and not very useful all around.
