Can I install this on my debian machine? Does it support openvpn, vpnc, mobile, etc? And most importantly, what is the package's name? Thanks! G.

So it's nm under the hood with vpn support (but nm brokenness too) , and the package is currently in experimental for a reason: buggy (tried it a few weeks ago). Another gui is "wicd", it's nice and works well, but I am not aware of a plugging for vpn that goes with it. You can use another gui application maybe, like "kvpnc" (never tried that one, name's suggest it should be up to the job...). Can't comment on connection through "mobile". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org

I tried wicd which tortured me a little because it seemed to have a problem either with dhclient3 or network-manager which remained installed after I removed network-manager-kde. After I removed both dhclient3 and network-manager, I reinstalled wicd and it worked fine. Thanks! G.

I don't think it's knetworkmanager or networ-kmanager. I install previous version but it's the same. -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
