  I am trying to connect to corporate cisco vpn via network-manager-vpnc
  plugin. vpnc is able to connect successfully via cmdline with the same
  configuration parameters, whereas nm.vpnc fails to connect. It doesn't
  even try to connect to external server (confirmed from wireshark), and
  bails out by saying "Failed because there were no valid VPN secrets".
