[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#703956: NetworkManager failed with openvpn + dhcp configuration

[Alexey Kuznetsov]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.9.4.0-1

Network manager unable to esablish openvpn connection if openvpn
server does not provide an IP address for remote client.


In my configuration IP provided by DHCP request to the lan dhcp
server. And openvpn provides only a ethernet media connection to the
remote server (just tap channel).


I expect network manager install openvpn media connection, ask for IP
using standard DHCP teqnique, and setup default route to the provided
IP.
