Bug Description

After starting the openvpn connection from network-manager, dhcp settings are loaded, which stomp all over the routes.. (bug reported elsewhere).

The openvpn service is not able to be cleanly stopped.. which stops the service being started again.

From /var/log/syslog:

Jul 10 21:18:52 shiny dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <null address> on eth1 to 192.168.10.11 port 67
Jul 10 21:18:52 shiny dhclient: DHCPACK of 192.168.10.193 from 192.168.10.11

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
