Bug Description
I use pptp vpn to connect to our office network. Under Hardy using Network Manager (NM 0.6.6) this worked very well and was stable. Under Intrepid NM0.7 the same connection is unstable. While it connects without a problem and i can initiate Remote Desktop Protocols etc... eventually the connection drops out with the error VPN connection failed. I can usually reconnect immediately, but not always, if not a restart is usually required. Reconnected VPN connectiions continue to be unstable and fail frequently thereafter. Interestingly, opening pidgin precipitates this connection failure (not sure about other applications).

Thank you for reporting this bug.
I didn't experience a number of unstabilities as you, but I can confirm NM0.7 is not stable as NM0.6.6.
