Public bug reported: I'm duplicating my comment from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- openconnect/+bug/824255/comments/17 since that bug seems to be closed while my problem remains, so I guess I hit a different bug or something. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, fully updated (network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1, network-manager-pptp 0.9.0-0ubuntu2).
I'm using the dispatcher script from http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/NetworkManager/Dispatcher, at the bottom: ------------------------------ #!/bin/bash REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME="specific_WLAN_network" VPN_CONNECTION_NAME="given_VPN_connection" activ_con=$(nmcli con status | grep "${REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME}") activ_vpn=$(nmcli con status | grep "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}") if [ "${activ_con}" -a ! "${activ_vpn}" ]; then nmcli con up id "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}" fi ------------------------------ WHAT I EXPECT: The dispatcher script should trigger when the system boots up, when I wake it up from sleeping and when the VPN connection breaks off and establish the given VPN connection automatically as soon as I'm connected to a specific WLAN network. WHAT I GET: Oct 24 00:18:34 nikolaus-desktop NetworkManager[1040]: <info> Policy set 'WLAN_NETWORK' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. Oct 24 00:18:34 nikolaus-desktop NetworkManager[1040]: <info> Activation (wlan0) successful, device activated.
