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:

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?
