Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
1. Connect anything via ppp0 (in my case it was HP iPAQ PDA via synce). So,
interface ppp0 is used now, and PPTP will use ppp1 instead.
2. Try to connect to any VPN through NetworkManager applet.
It responds with graphic warning message like "server didn't response
valid configuration" (can't say clearly because in my case there appear
russian translation of it). And here is the part of my syslog:

As you can see, nm-pppd-plugin "thinks" we don't recieve IP4 Address, but it's
not true (see log).
I think it's because nm-pppd-plugin looks for ppp0 IP4 Address or similar.
