Hi, Where the plugin is installed doesn't matter that much. Most important here is the file nm-openconnect-service.name I suspect this name-file *must* be in /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/ (which depends on nm-applet's and NetworkManager's configuration). (on nm-1-2, preferred location of the name-file is /usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/, but /etc is still supported) Thomas > > To answer your last question--I am under Slackware-current and there > is > no appropriate package for openconnect plugin for the version I am on > for NetworkManager.
