Bug Description
I'm using a Cisco VPN connection. Everything used to just work. Today, after I installed Ubuntu updates, it hangs while trying to connect, with no error messages.
I also noticed that before, it only asked me for password when connecting. Now it's also asking for a "group password" - even though I set it to "saved" in the configuration.
