[SOLVED] NetworkManager won't let me add a VPN connection.

Hi, I've been trying to setup the support for VPNs for some time and I can't seem to do it properly.

I've install OpenVPN and the Cisco VPN client too, but I still have the "Add" button grayed out, what else do I need to be able to setup VPN connections from NetworkManager?

it was a plugin for networkmanager, named networkmanager-openvpn and now all of them are in extra. just pick one from the following:

networkmanager-vpnc
networkmanager-pptp
networkmanager-openvpn
networkmanager-openconnect
