Thanks Vish. Would it be possible to amend the following sentence so it reads: + This should mostly be fixed for Natty and *will* get backported to 10.04 and might get backported to earlier releases as well. 10.04 is a LTS after all... thanks, Jan On 03/01/11 07:53, Vish wrote: > ** Descripti

HI all, Another suggestion I'd like to make is to have the ability to use a OpenVPN config file (ie. the GUI would allow you to specify a config file). Assuming it will take some effort to create a GUI for all the possible OpenVPN options, it would be very helpful if network-manager-openvpn would
