Not possible to set fragment size

I just wrote a patch to support the fragment option. It works with Ubuntu 10.04.

I tested Dani's patch and found it to apply (to the result of "apt-get source network-manager-openvpn" on 10.04) and work fine. It finally allows me to connect to our common company's OpenVPN server using network-manager.

Cool! I'll try to remember it when I install the 10.4 final release. Thanks!

Dani also has a version of the patch that works with Ubuntu 9.10 - maybe he can post it here... it would certainly be nice to have more people test it.

That would be awesome, as I'm using openvpn to connect to my corporate network right now. I would need instructions of how to install it as well, though.

This is the patch for Ubuntu 9.10. To apply the patch, do as follows:

- apt-get source network-manager-openvpn
- cd network-manager-openvpn-0.8.... (don't remember the long version number)
- patch -d . -p1 ../fragment-9.10.patch
- aclocal
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/NetworkManager --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo service network-manager restart

The patch command didn't work. It just hanged after the command was started.

Sorry, the patch command should read:

patch -d . -p1 < ../fragment-9.10.patch

And don't forget to apply the debian patch as well (in the source directory):

patch -d . -p1 < debian/patches/nm-openvpn-service.name.patch

I get the following error:

alind@kaze:~/...n-0.8~a~git.20091008t123607.7c184a9$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/NetworkManager --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

will take care about it

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager-openvpn - 0.8~rc1-0ubuntu3

Looks like this patch has been removed from final 0.8. Is there any walk around for this problem?
Thanks.
