I've already downgraded the entirity of Network-manager back to 0.6.6 - VPN to me, means I can work from home, I don't have to drive to the office when there's a problem at 3AM, network manager 0.7 (all components) has been the biggest let down for me in Ubuntu in 3 years, and has almost driven me away. just look at how many bugs are associated with it, and how many were even looked at before release, IMHO it should have stayed with 0.6.6 until 0.7 was more stable, it's really not like Ubuntu to have SVN builds in their release - though I guess last time it was the Firefox 3 beta issue. now where near as bad as not letting people access VPN's to their place of work, or even set a static IP Address and have the machine actually remember what it is after it's been reset.

0.7 might be better in many ways, but IMHO more has been broken than has been fixed.i'll stick with 0.6.6 until my VM works as it should, I will also never install a KDE app to get around a bug that has been created in a gnome application, I will take the regression on the gnome application to the point the bug is not there. even Gentoo doesn't have 0.7 and they mark things as stable when they compile!
