I installed the above deb on dell mini 12.  It installs okay, but does not work with the previous vpn connection setup. I tried playing with different options, but was not successful in creating a new MS vpn connection that works. Without vpn access to my office, the functionality of this netbook is severely limited.  Fortunately, through a series of uninstalling some programs and force installing old versions, I am back to old network-manager, network-manager-gnome and pptp... which works.

Status in Dell Inspiron Mini with Custom Dell UI: Confirmed

Bug description:
In a recent upgrade (using the hardy-dell-mini-proposed source), the network-manager-pptp package was removed from my system due to a conflict with the new network-manager package.

Therefore, with the current state, use of PPTP VPN connections with network manager is not possible.

(it was, however, working prior to the update)
