Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

My employer's windows vpn server, from time to time, times out my
connection after a period of being idle.  When that happens pppd
disconnects but network-manager nor nm-applet reflect this change.  As
far as they are concerned the connection is still alive.  I am using
Ubuntu 6.10.

The following is all that I find in my /var/log/messages file when this
happens:

I hope that my log excerpts are helpful.  Either way it would be way cool and 
reliable feeling if the nm-applet reflected the fact that my vpn connection has 
given up the ghost.

Thanks,
David
