My wireless interface (eth0) was configured using network-manager, with the wired interface (eth0) is disabled. But I also get the "no currently active network device, won't activate VPN" error in syslog whenever I try activating VPN through network-manager.
A work-around seems to be to rename the interfaces so that eth0 is the active connection (in my case, the wireless). See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601671 But a better solution would be to make the network-manager use the routing table in determining which interface to use for the vpn. -- Unable to use VPN with manually configured wifi interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/163623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
