[Bug 355509] [NEW] NM OpenVPN applet won't store "Local IP address", simple config using static shared key

[davee]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Intrepid.  I installed openvpn and network-manager-openvpn

network-manager-openvpn                    0.7~~svn20081015t024626-0ubuntu1
openvpn                                    2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2

I can create a VPN tunnel 'by hand' using appropriate config files and
running 'openvpn' on the command line.  However, I'm trying to make this
work via the Network Manager applet.

When I attempt to configure a VPN, any values I insert in the "Local IP
Address" field are never saved (i.e. when I go back to edit the config,
the value I put there previously has disappeared).  This does not affect
the other settings in the config.  I note that one is only presented
with a "Local IP address" field when using a Static Key configuration.

This means that I cannot make OpenVPN work via Network Manager.  I
cannot determine whether the problem is that the IP address I give is
being ignored and simply not saved, or whether it is considered invalid
for some reason.

** Affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu)
