Comment 7 for bug 163623

I can confirm this bug to. It doesn't effect wireless only. Even if you have a static eth0 (wired) address you can't access any VPN connection. You always get a "no currently active network device". In fact my server is a small family server, so i need an up and running eth0 before login. Due to previous discussion there is a pragmatic workarround. I've configured eth1 (onboard) as roaming interface with dhcp. Now i can connect my company VPN without any problem.
