Bump. Two years later and I still have to struggle with setting up a PPP connection in Ubuntu. Is there any chance this might get fixed one day? It can be done very easily through a GUI in OS X and Windows, but in Ubuntu I have to go through the same *setup_using_pppoeconf- break_other_connections-happen_uppon_this_old_hack* loop every time I have to set up someboy's computer on this kind of access network.
I mean, I know this is a corner case, but it still counts towards building an image for Ubuntu. If you're trying to impress somebody to become a new user and he sees you have to do some terminal mumble-jumble to set up his/her net connection, it definitely doesn't seem as nice as simply doing 3 clicks in a GUI. Surely it wouldn't be a big patch for somebody who has some insights about the inner workings of Network manager. Cheers for nm stability other than that! This is the only major bug I noticed :) Dražen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232172 Title: MASTER no wlan option for pppoe configuration Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet: Confirmed Status in “dillo” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu 8.04, there is possibility to set up ppoe connection using gui in network settings. But there is only possibility to use ethernet devices for setting the connection. In my case, I am using pppoe over wlan device (quite common internet connection in Germany), it means, I have to connect to WLAN bridge and then use this wlan bridge for setting pppoe connection. To do this, I have to set up it using command line tool pppoeconf. So I think this is not feature request, this is a bug in present gui, that the wlan device can't be chosen.
