I think I can understand the silence, I couldn't make it work this way no matter what I tried.
In the end for Ubuntu I used rp-pppoe from here: https://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/pppoe by following this guide: https://rsabalburo.blogspot.co.nz/2015/02/pppoe-on-ubuntu-1404.html Needless to say NetworkManager wasn't of much use, I even disabled it while connecting via pppoe. Hopefully this will help someone else in a similar situation. Just one note that if you have dynamically allocated address by your ISP, if you provide the script your ISP's DNS servers at build time, things will spring into action much quicker.
