Hugo created a bug report here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562670

Which I can see has been reported as a dup of: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349151 (which this bug is now assigned to), however, this bug is titled ' [enh] automatically reconnect VPN if dropped ' which is not the same as the orginal bug, therefore I don't think it's a duplicate.

We are talking about auto connecting at startup, not reconnecting when the line drops.

If think we're waiting for the wrong bug to be fixed, maybe that's why it has taken so long?

Also at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589533 (which this bug is assigned to), Michael Biebl says

"Currently, VPN connection can not be autostarted. So I guess this option should
be greyed out."

... so maybe it can't be fixed?

I'm a novice at ubuntu development so I hope someone more experience can take another look at this

Thanks,

Adam
