Networking not as good as in 11.10

Deactivate the N-mode of the wifi driver, additionally (bug):

This worked like a charm, no need to remove the resolvconf.

No my last problem before I have a fully working networking is my VPNC connection with defined routes.

The normal one, without having defined specific routes and marked the "Use this connection only for resources on its network", is working. But then one with routes have problems resolving names inside the network.

I have noticed this in the syslog, so the name server is detected, but looks like it is connected to specific "domains". When I do "nslookup some.domain.in.the.vpn.network" it does not show anything. I guess because the some.domain.in.the.vpn.network does not match any of the *.in-addr.arpa addresses so it will be searched inside the 192.168.100.1 nameserver.

So what can I do now?

Check, if the VPN server uses "LZO compression". You should be able to activate it, too, in the network-manager (somewhere in "advanced"?!).

I cannot find that options anywhere in the VPN configuration (under all advanced tabs/windows I could find)...
