Your problem appears pretty closely related. As I suggested earlier, it appears that nm-vpnc is doing some extra step that is offending. It is doing more stuff than vpnc does and that is the real problem. The extra stuff that nm-vpnc seems to do is causing our normal internet traffic to stop. In your case however, it appears to be the issue that integr8e has had. Try removing resolvconf. I think your problems should go too if that is the only problem you are facing. If not try the rest of what I told him to do 3-4 posts back. In any case, I believe you should be filing it under this bug report only. Please do check your specific issue again do as you deem fit.
