Description:
I am trying to make OpenVPN (package networkmanager-openvpn) run in nm-applet but seems not to be working.


Additional info:
networkmanager-openvpn-0.9.0-1

/etc/rc.conf - Modules
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Blacklisting is no longer supported.
# Replace every !module by an entry as on the following line in a file in
# /etc/modprobe.d:
# blacklist module
# See "man modprobe.conf" for details.
#
MODULES=(tun)

/etc/rc.conf - Daemons
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
# If something other takes care of your hardware clock (ntpd, dual-boot...)
# you should disable 'hwclock' here.

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus networkmanager)

/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf - Configuration file

nobind
pull
comp-lzo
tls-client
tls-remote server
ns-cert-type server
ca OverplayCert.crt
cipher AES-256-CBC

auth-user-pass passwd

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Syu network-manager-applet

add 'networkmanager' to /etc/rc.conf

/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start

OpenVPN:
pacman -Syu networkmanager-openvpn openvpn network-manager-applet lzo2
modprobe tun

add tun in MODULES=(tun)

added following script & made it execuatble: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#DNS
to: /usr/share/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

Extracted config files & certificate from www.overplay.com to /etc/openvpn/

made 'passwd' file with 2 lines (login & passord)

and networkmanager-openvpn is not displayed in nm-applet even after reloading Gnome or reboot
This task depends upon

right now use nm-connection-editor to create the connection. a better networking support is targeted for 3.4
