NetworkManager-openvpn: --ping or --keepalive options

[steve]

Hi,

I have configured NetworkManager to connect to an openvpn server over UDP 
transport. However, I do not see any option in the NM config UI which would let 
me pass the --ping or --keepalive options to the openvpn command. Due to this, 
my connection keeps timing out every minute or so.

How do i pass additional parameters to openvpn when using NetworkManager ?

cheers,
- steve
