It should be changed to 'VPN' to be consistent.

No, the plugin will talk to any IPSEC gateway that implements the same
xauth/PSK authentication. If you mean it only works with openswan as a backend
for this NM vpn plugin, that should be expressed just with RPM dependencies,
not with a UI string - the user shouldn't have to care that openswan is being
used under the hood.
