Hi Mathieu,

Nope.  I do file bugs but I have not filed this one (yet).  TBH, I get
tired of filing bugs only to see problems persist across multiple
releases of Ubuntu Linux.  Frequently bugs don't even get acknowledged
(or they get ignored after it becomes clear that it's not a 5 second
fix) and 6-12 months later the first acknowledgement is "hey, the new
release is coming out, is this bug still present in that release?",
which among other things presumes I am willing to upgrade to a
pre-release.

Again, nope (net yet).  TBH, about this particular issue, I don't see
the point.  It's clear that NM is quite buggy, that such a basic issue
exists in it.  And even if I did find a bug filed about it already, what
would that solve for me?  It wouldn't fix the issue I have in Lucid
currently and even if it did, and if there was a fix, through the whole
complicated process it takes to get an update into Ubuntu now, it would
likely not show up for months.  I can't wait months.  It's just easier
to push a buggy piece of software aside (when you can) and carry on with
things they way they were before the buggy software showed up, like
using /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/openvpn/*.

I am sorry, but I really don't have the time.  I already spend way too
much of my life reading, following and helping with other bugs in so
many other pieces of software that I don't have time to add yet another
one -- one for which I can work-around quite easily.

I'm sorry to be so unhelpful on this, but while it's an annoyance, it
has an easy work-around and I can spend my time working on other things
that don't have such easy work-arounds, or with even spend some time my
family, etc.

Again, sorry to be so unhelpful, but I am already stretched way too
thin.
