I just switched over to Debian from Ubuntu and I can't seem to figure out how to add a VPN connection through network manager. When I select the VPN tab from Edit Connections the Add button is disabled.

I'm running a fresh install of Debian 6.0.1 Already install the the Cisco VPN client (network-manager-vpnc).

Any pointers would be great.

It's not seeing the VPN manager you have installed. Once you install one that's supported, like openvpn, the Add button will be enabled.

You have to install the network manager:

sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc

As well as the gnome client:

sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc-gnome
