Yes, I just verified that I'm updated to the latest
network-manager-pptp for intrepid and EAP is tried by default, causing
the connection to fail. The EAP.patch applies to
network-manager-pptp-0.7~~svn20081008t224042 to add EAP checkbox to
the authentication section of the configuration so that it can be
disabled.

I can submit this to upstream, if I knew where that was, but I've been
unable to determine where this package comes from.
