[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#567461: network-manager-gnome: PPTP connections -- cannot select 128-bit security mode for MPPE

[Teodor MICU]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Going to Network Connections -> VPN -> select a PPTP connection -> Edit and from
the new window on the VPN tab click on "Advanced":
- check "Use Point-to-Point encryption (MPPE)"
- on "Security" change from "All Available (Default)" to any specific security
mode (128-bit or 40-bit) and click "Ok"
- boing back to "Advanced" you can see that MPPE is now disabled!

The only way to have MPPE enabled is to keep the "Security" mode to default.

I've upgraded all network-manager* packages to current version in 'unstable' 0.7.999
and there is no difference.

Thanks
