I built the rpm from the srpm noted in Comment #9 and installed.

When I tried to start the vpn, the vpn was initiated and worked, but I got these
messages in my /var/log/messages file:

Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost nm-openvpn[2658]: TUN/TAP device tun0 opened
Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost nm-openvpn[2658]: /sbin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500
Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost nm-openvpn[2658]: /sbin/ip addr add dev tun0 local

Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost nm-openvpn[2658]:
/usr/bin/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper tun0 1500 1542 10.1.1.6 10.1.1.5 init
Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost NetworkManager: <WARNING>      get_dbus_guint32_helper
(): Error: couldn't get IP4 VPN Local Netmask from VPN IP Config message.
Feb 14 11:40:18 localhost NetworkManager: <WARNING>     
nm_vpn_service_stage4_ip_config_get ():
nm_vpn_service_stage4_ip_config_get(org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn): did
not receive valid IP config information.

Even though you can see that the tun was assigned an address (and the remote
network was reachable), NetworkManager thinks that it didn't receive valid IP4
information.

Because of this, there is no status in NetworkManager that indicates I've
connected to a vpn and the disconnect option is not available.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with NetworkManager or NetworkManager-openvpn.

dbus-0.60-7.2
NetworkManager-0.5.1-12.cvs20060213

I, for one, appreciate this package and would like to see it sponsored and moved
forward.
