Description Alexey Balmashnov 2008-09-12 10:53:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have a VPN configuration file exported earlier in NM0.6, when I successfully configured my VPN connection via PPTP.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to import configuration exported from earlier version of NM (0.6 in my case) in the current NM 0.7

Actual results:
I got error:
===
Cannot import VPN connection

The file 'Campus.pcf' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information

Error: unknown PPTP file extension.
===

After changing an extension to .conf (which is used in the NM 0.7 Export function) I got another error:
===
Cannot import VPN connection

The file 'Campus.conf' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information

Error: unknown error.
===

Expected results:
The configuration file recognized and Imported, VPN connection is configured and is ready for use.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

PPTP doesn't implement import/export yet...
