Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Currently it appears that Network Manager does not have the ability to import Microsoft's cms files. These are ini files with options on how to set up a vpn client for a configured network. see details here:
http://
See example here:
Some users are attempting to connection to these networks and are finding they have issues as they can't manually map between the ini file and the network manager advanced settings. Although I would say that they shouldn't have to do it manually and importing of the file should work automatically.

Wow, this format is evil ;)
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Bugs/ Upstream/ GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.
One problem I see is that the example you added looks more like a PPPoE connection than a VPN, since there seems to be no IP address for the endpoint. Could you confirm that this is indeed for a VPN and not an Internet connection using DSL or something?
It would also be really helpful if you could attach your example to the bug as a file, to avoid it expiring before the bug is fixed ;)
Thanks in advance!
