Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Severity: important
I'm using network-manager and network-manager-vpnc to connect to my VPN
network.
I've been using vpnc and it has been working perfectly for months.
network-manager-vpnc connected properly with a difference of only one
thing. It was dropping a list of new name servers which were sent by the
DHCP server when the VPN connection was being established.
This caused my box to not be able to talk to the VPN network (because the
name servers were not updated).
Here are the relevant logs:

In the logs, the lines are very clear. I tried looking into NM but
couldn't find anything that talks about Dynamic Modification.
Thanks,

Version 0.7.0 has proper resolvconf support so this bug should be fixed.
If you still experience any problem with 0.7.0, please reopen and attach the
output of NetworkManager --no-daemon
