Bug Description

I've successfully setup a working openvpn link through network manager. After connection the connection information given my network-manager is clearly wrong. Both the ethernet and openvpn are reported as using the eth0 device (openvpn is using tun1) and the openvpn shows the same IP and DNS configs as the ethernet, which is clearly wrong. The output of "route" is correct and the link works fine.

Attached are two screenshots of the "Connection Information" screen as accessed from the network-manager dropdown on the panel.

While investigating bug #1169437 I noticed (see comment #11) that nmcli doesn't output any information about the VPN connection. Could this bug be related to that fact?
