Hey Debarshi,
Thanks for the reply.
I am having some issues with connecting to VPN using Gnome's network
manager. Even though I have selected it to connect automatically, it never
does so. The typical behaviour would be to detect if there's a network
connection and connect to the VPN. On failure, it can try a few times
before giving up.
If it's a config issue, please tell me how to fix it. If it is a bug in the
codebase, please direct me to the components or projects (I see a number of
components related to Network Manager) from where I can start hacking.
Regards,
Ratnadeep
