Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
I use OpenVPN to secure my wireless network. A connection with the
command-line openvpn client works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I do not use the OpenVPN-specific features at
all to configure my network, I just use TAP and the clients should get
their network information via DHCP (IP address, routes etc.) through
this TAP interface. When trying to connect to the VPN via the network-
manager applet, I get a VPN Connect Failure with the message that no
adequate network configuration has been provided, which makes the applet
unusable for my purpose.
Could you please add a feature (check box in the config dialog etc.) to
run dhclient on the tap* interface after a connection has been
established?
As far as I have seen, a lot of other people have such a configuration
so this would be great help. Thanks in advance!
I am using Hardy Heron.
