[Bug 370330] [NEW] doesn't support routing by device

[Jamin W. Collins]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

The only routes that can be defined via the NM pptp plugin require the
following bits of information: Address, Netmask, Gateway, and Metric

However it is valid to define a route with only:  Address, Netmask,
Interface

Such as:

sudo route add -net 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev ppp0

With the current plugin I can find no way to define the above route.
The client IP is dynamic and thus unknown prior to connection.  As such
I don't see how the route can be defined using the currently available
options.  It seems much more reasonable to define the route via the
device.
