Hi folks.
I want to configure a VPN for my laptop, but rather than the way I normally do
things using command line / scripts I thought I would use NetworkManager.
I've googled and found that I needed to add NetworkManager-pptp which I did
(aling with a few others, see below). However, when I open up the KDE
control module for Network Manager and go to the VPN tab, the 'Add' button is
disabled.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to enable it?
