Chris-- what I've found I have to do is click on the "Enable Networking" to disable networking and then click on it again to enable it. Then, I have the VPN option back in the networking menu. I think this bug was introduced in 12.10.

I used to be able to simply click on the networking icon and then connect to the VPN of my choice. However, today I noticed that clicking on the networking icon gives me only three options: Enable Networking, Information, Edit. If I go into Edit, I can still see my VPN properly configured, but I have no way of connecting to it. How do I connect to the VPN?</div></blockquote></div>
