VPN through NetworkManager in Debian?

I just switched over to Debian from Ubuntu and I can't seem to figure out how to add a VPN connection through network manager. When I select the VPN tab from Edit Connections the Add button is disabled.

I'm running a fresh install of Debian 6.0.1 Already install the the Cisco VPN client (network-manager-vpnc).

Any pointers would be great.

Solution 1:

It's not seeing the VPN manager you have installed. Once you install one that's supported, like openvpn, the Add button will be enabled.

Solution 2:

You have to install the network manager:

sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc

As well as the gnome client:

sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc-gnome
