Comment 66 for bug 259168

This affects me seriously. The workaround of manually adding "refuse-eap" to the file ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/n/vpn/%gconf.xml (or alternatively using gconf-editor and adding refuse-eap=yes) allows me to establish the vpn, BUT MANY CONFIG SETTINGS AVAILABLE IN Version 0.6.5 ARE UNAVAILABLE, including modifying routes so that only SOME traffic goes through the vpn while all other traffic goes through my internet gateway. Version 0.7 is obviously a major rewrite from Version 0.6.5; anyone who used Version 0.6.5 will understand what I mean. Version 0.6.5 worked beautifully for me in Hardy, including my aforementioned setting of custom routes. To make matters worse, with Version 0.7, if you use vi or gconf-editor to set options which the GUI does not make available to be set, and then later use Version 0.7's GUI to make any any additional changes, it will OVERWRITE YOUR MANUAL CUSTOMIZATIONS. Isn't Version 0.7 in BETA status, anyway? Version 6.5 should have been the one included in Intrepid. Take a look at what Anthony Mercatante said here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/network-manager-pptp/0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1 . I quote Anthony as follows: "* Due to misscomprehension with original maintainer, my previous svn sync was a regression, as I synched with 0.6.5 branch while he did with 0.7 beta and backported the sources for 0.6.x. Reverting the packaging for the moment as we are late in the dev cycle to resync from svn and get potentially something unstable. * Applyed patch 01_no_icon.dpatch * Removed network-manager-gnome dependancy * Added missing build-dep libnm-util-dev"

If fixing Version 0.7 in Intrepid is going to take more than a few weeks, can someone tell me if Version 0.6.5 could be compiled in Intrepid, and a binary package made available?
