Status in networkmanager-qt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The new Network manager has some extra options and this breaks the usage of many network connections. No new connection can be created or existing ones edited.

  [Testcase]
  Before patch:
    * Install Kubuntu 16.04
    * Connect to a network (connection being done automatically)
    * Create a new VPN connection
      * For example PPTP
      * Type in gateway any string longer than one character
      * Click ok
      * Receive notification error «connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value "18454592" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'»
      * notice connection is not created
    * Create a new connection (wireless or wired)
      * Change the IP to manual
      * Save
      * Receive noification error «same as above»
      * Notice connection is not created
    * Import a VPN connection
      * Save
      * Receive notification error «same as above»
      * Notice connection is not created

  [Fix]
  In KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362141 for this issue a fix is commited. This is released in KDE Frameworks 5.21. The patch can be cherry picked and applied to networkmanager-qt 5.18.

  [Original Description]
  I installed the recent updates in the Update Manager and after rebooting I wasn't able to connect to my wifi network anymore.
  It attempts to connect to the network and fails with the following error message:

  Failed to update connection [network name]
  connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property:
  value "46730064" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'

  I am able to use wired connection.
