Fedora 9 Network Manager vpn connection regression

[Patrick Mansfield]

The current network manager vpn is not working for me, it was working fine in
early december, directly using vpnc or using the cisco vpn client I am
able to connect.

Any ideas?

I've searched quite a bit and still have not found an answer.

Thanks for any help ...

Details:

I'm running Fedora 9, all up to date.

It probably worked with these versions, back in mid december or so:
	NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.10.svn4024.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.i386

It started failing with these, sometime in late December:
	NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.11.svn4326.fc9.i386

And current testing rpms also fail, these:
	NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-1.svn13.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc9.i386
	NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc9.i386

It connects to the vpn, but then it hits some failure - I'm not sure what -
and decides the vpn connection failed.

I see in log files:
