Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.0~svn953-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/nm-applet

Hi,

I have installed the openvpn and pptp vpn plugins but network manager does
not provide me with the ability to add a VPN.

Nor does there appear to be any documentation on how to activate VPN configuration.

Thanks,
Anand
