Comment 4 for bug 277432

Something similar happened to me upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 (final). My VPN was visible in the menu but it wouldn't work. If I brought up the edit dialog for it it had no panel to change the settings. I tried creating a new VPN but there was no way to set "refuse EAP" the way there used to be. Sorry, but I had to immediately restore my backup made prior to upgrade because I can't be without VPN access for even a day.

Here's a dump of my config as it looks in 8.04:
