[Bug 301593] Re: network-manager-pptp lacks refuse-eap option in advanced ... dialog

[William Loucks]

If anyone is still using Intrepid, does not use nor require the new
features of NetworkManager 0.7 such as "Mobile Broadband" and "DSL", and
wants to revert to network-manager-pptp as it was in Hardy, I've created
"new" versions of the five related packages with version numbers such
that they are "newer" than 0.7, but are actually the same packages and
versions which were in Hardy. I've tested them as well as I can and
would like volunteers for additional testing. I did not sign these
packages, so you will have to understand what that means. To become a
volunteer tester, do these steps:

1. Add the following to Software Sources:
deb http://www2.nau.edu/wal2/NetworkManager/ ./

2. Use update-manager or synaptic to check the software channels for new
updates or reload the package information

3. The "new" versions of the five packages are shown below
libnm-glib0                  0.7+0.6.6
libnm-util0                  0.7+0.6.6
network-manager              0.7+0.6.6
network-manager-gnome        0.7+0.6.6
network-manager-pptp         0.7+0.6.5

4. Install all five packages

5. Reboot, just be safe, and if you previously used network-manager-pptp
under Hardy, it should look exactly like it did in Hardy. If you had not
previously used network-manager-pptp under Hardy, take a look at the
configuration dialogs.

6. Set up your favorite pptp connection and test it.
