@Matt, @Pat,

Similar stuff happening here with me when it comes to the WLAN address.
However, the tun0 address changes (I am connecting to a large company
net here, so even if I'm quick, there are probably 10+ other people
getting in there between my attempts).

So to be clear, here is a table of my IP addresses in the first attempt
and the second attempt (after having killed and restarted nm-applet).

First
   wlan0  10.0.0.41 (my local net)
   tun0   10.x.y.153 (company net)

Second
   wlan0  10.0.0.41 (my local net, unchanged)
   tun0   10.x.y.132 (company net, new address)

So it appears that the local address remains unchanged (as expected --
the DHCP lease doesn't even expire) and the tunnel address changes from
invocation to invocation.

Pls note that the password also changes between invocations (using a RSA
based SecurID system here), so any possible bugs/problems with the
keyring and sending the right password (the one I type in and not the
previous one) could also create an issue -- although it fails so quickly
after the connect that I'm kind of wondering if the server would even
have time to verify the password...

@Pat, is this similar for you or are you using the same password(s) each
time?

I have also set up another machine recently from scratch, and installed
an OpenVPN configuration on that, plus set up the OpenVPN server it
connects to. That works very well, no problems whatsoever; it connects
and reconnects as needed. I set it up initially in router mode (tun) and
changed it later to bridge mode (tap) and both work well. Unfortunately
that is not a company related PC (and was done for another person on his
PC), so I cannot install the Cisco client on that and try to reproduce
on that machine.
