Do add a comment on this bug and provide a link to your new bug if you are
filing a new one.

Your problem appears pretty closely related. As I suggested earlier, it
appears that nm-vpnc is doing some extra step that is offending. It is doing
more stuff than vpnc does and that is the real problem. The extra stuff that
nm-vpnc seems to do is causing our normal internet traffic to stop.

In your case however, it appears to be the issue that integr8e has had. Try
removing resolvconf. I think your problems should go too if that is the only
problem you are facing. If not try the rest of what I told him to do 3-4
posts back. In any case, I believe you should be filing it under this bug
report only. Please do check your specific issue again do as you deem fit.

Thanks,
Balaji
