Description Noah Swint 2006-09-03 02:56:54 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
VPN Connections are not available during dialup connections.  In my case it's connecting to GPRS/Edge through my cellphone.  They are present when connected via Ethernet or Wifi

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on NetworkManager Applet
2. Connect to Dialup connection with Dialup Connections, Dialup Connections
3. Under VPN Connections all are grayed out


Actual results:
No vpn connections are available

Expected results:
I would expect the VPN Connectiosn to be available after I connect with a dialup connection initiated by NM

Does this happen every time?
Yes

I have the same issue.  What is the status of this work?  What can I do to
help? (short of coding... just not quite proficient in that yet)
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2007-02-13 03:14:05 UTC 
Needs better integrated PPP support.  Currently the dialup stuff just execs /sbin/ifup.
