I'm not very familiar with the "nomination" process, but I think we may need a few thousand more nominations of this bug for Ubuntu distributions (notice, above, I've nominated this bug for Intrepid and Jaunty). Would any of the other subscribers to this bug be willing to add your nomination(s)? We need MORE of them!

In my opinion, the status of this bug needs to be changed to "Confirmed", and the importance set higher than "Undecided".

Regarding 0.7, I'm gradually learning more about it. I think it adds Wireless Broadband and DSL capabilities, so if you REQUIRE those capabilities, 0.7 is your choice, although 0.7 seems to be a rather early work-in-progress, so expect a rocky road for awhile.

The thing that concerns me is that the pptp plugin for 0.7 is barely recognizable from 0.6 and has several show-stoppers, depending on who you are; for me, the show-stoppers were the inability to set refuse-eap (now fixed) and setting custom routing.
