I haven't looked at precisely how Nikos has incorporated the OpenVPN
signed driver into his OpenConnect installer. It might be possible to
change things so that it gets a more appropriate name.

That might "simply" be a case of repacking the TAP installer, or even
invoking it differently. Worst case it might require rebuilding the TAP
driver. But I don't think so. And Red Hat has Windows driver signing
keys anyway... :)

Does that one work?

What if you take the working one and rename it *back* to 'LAN
-Verbindung 3' (or 4)? Does it work then?

I know I deliberately checked the character set handling with evil
names like TAP?. If the default in English doesn't have spaces, though,
then perhaps I neglected to test that? Try a name without spaces?
