Oh, the stupidity of wanting *too* much: I want mediatomb to startup at boot so that the media service will be available without any users logging-in. However, using NetworkManager to manage connections doesn't configure the ethernet adapter before mediatomb starts so mediatomb dies at startup. This is easily resolved by setting the ethernet device to autostart in /etc/networks/interfaces, but this causes NetworkManager to not show any network connections and thus you can't start any VPN connections you may have setup in NetworkManager.
OK, so let's just scrap NetworkManager and use a different interface to connect to VPN. Kvpnc seems like a good candidate so I tried that. Unfortunately the latest release of Kvpnc (0.9.0) for Jaunty does not have support for MS-CHAP v2. Probably have to wait for Karmic to get Kvpnc 0.9.1 which should support MS-CHAP v2. Shit.
