The issue I've is that when I connect via modem through gnome-ppp the Network Manager Applet don't detect a connection and don't let me use the configured VPNs via its interface.
How Can I manually activate the Network Manager Applet?
What I need is to enable the Network Manager apple in order to use the "VPN Connection" section of the GUI.
When I don't have an ethernet cable connected and I connect through a modem the Network Manager applet doesn't enables itself, it is like if don't recognizes the ppp0 interface. My question is: there is a way to force the Network Manager GUI indicator to make it "alive"/"up"/"enabled" in order to use the "VPN Connections"section?
Thanks in advance.
Finally I got a solution for my own but it is a tricky one and it isn't useful for the people that don't have a Wireless adaptor.
The steps what I did were:
- Enable the Wireless adaptor of my laptop by turning on the hardware switch.
- Create a new ad-hoc connection.
- Connect to the local wireless ad-hoc connection.
- The Network-Manager applet brings to live allowing us to select the VPN to connect through.
