Bug 188489

I'm seeing this too.

Using mobile broadband I set the "Type" combobox to "3g (umts/hspa)", and whenever I return to re-edit the connection it's reverted to "Any".

Similarly the "MSCHAPv2" and "Allow BSD Compression" checkboxes in the PPP tab simply won't stay checked, no matter how many times I check them.

I can confirm this bug for KDE 4.2.3 on Jaunty (packages from ppa).

Same here. The only thing that's saved is the name of the connection.

Version: 0.0+svn966653-0ubuntu0.1

I have this as well in KDE Trunk on opensuse 11.1.

Still not working in KDE 4.3 RC2.

Only the UI code for VPNC and the storage layer are implemented, none of the plumbing between the two.  Anyone want to step up and contribute a patch? I can give you a lot of tips how to go about it.

cool. will this make it into the 4.3 release?

The KDE networkmanager code is not part of the release, and 4.3 got feature-frozen more than two months ago. ... :)

SVN commit 1006258 by wstephens:

Implement writing VPNC connection settings.

Please test!  I have no way of testing this code with a real VPNC
service.  It is only correct as far as I can see compared with the gnome
vpnc plugin.

Dominik: this code uses KDE 4.3 but is not part of KDE 4.3.  As Sebas says it is outside the release cycle.  However I have notified the distributions that I know are using NetworkManager to package this so it is available alongside 4.3.

I am using openSUSE 11.1 with 

NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1007025-83.1
NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1007025-83.1
NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1007025-83.1
NetworkManager-kde4-debuginfo-0.9.svn1007025-83.1
NetworkManager-kde4-lang-0.9.svn1007025-83.1

When I try to connenct either knetworkmanager crashes, see 
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528539

or it does not connect. Here is the NetworkManager log from a failed connection:

Hello,

I just tried vpnc with svn 1011465, and although connection data are saved, secrets are not. In kwallet, there's a Network Management > Maps > {...} > VpnSecrets key, but it has no value.

If you need more information / testing, just ask

Hi,

i've tried svn 1022899, and saving passwords works great. However if i change the combobox to "Always ask", it won't ask for a password and fails to connect.

vpnc with knm4 still does not work for me with NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1023237-107.1 on openSUSE 11.1

JFYI: It works for me now with:
NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.1.1.i586 on openSUSE 11.2

I am working on showing the password dialog for Always Ask but it's difficult.

Sorry, please use #204596 for Always Ask issues.
