A little info on my system:

Mageia 1 (32BIT)
Dell Latitude E5510
802.11N/G wireless (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200)
Linux 3.0.1 (Self Compiled)


Following the instructions I get:

urpmi --media "Core Updates Testing" networkmanager-openvpn

A requested package cannot be installed:
networkmanager-0.8.6.0-0.1.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied modemmanager)

So I did a urpmi modemmanager and tried again:

A requested package cannot be installed:
networkmanager-0.8.6.0-0.1.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied 
mobile-broadband-provider-info)

So I did a urpmi mobile-broadband-provider-info and tried again:

A requested package cannot be installed:
networkmanager-0.8.6.0-0.1.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied dnsmasq-base)

So I did a urpmi dnsmasq-base and tried again:

And it then finally pulls down the rest of the dependencies and installs.

When following the console instructions about modifying the 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg files, I modified the wlan0 and 
eth0.  Upon reboot, I was no longer able to connect to my wireless.

I connect with a radius sever.  All the info was correct and 
wpa_supplicant was running, but I wasn't able to connect.  Removed the 
NM_CONTROLLED=yes from wlan0 I was able to connect.

As for the OpenVPN packages, NM was able to launch the VPN just fine but 
I still get an X over the Network Manager icon.  Guessing these new 
packages still can't handle the 3.0.x kernels?
