I'm referring to the networkmanager-openswan plugin source written by Alexander Dorokhov (hosted on xelerance). It seems that everything necessary to be set through the UI is there and also the code for bringing up xl2tpd. However, it looks like that openswan itself has to be compiled with HAVE_STATSD.

I think to vaguely remember that these options were available in very early releases of the openswan networkmanager plugin, but disappeared in later versions. What was reason for that?
