Yes, it might be 0.8.1, but it might also be 0.8.2 depending on how ambitious we are. 0.8.1 already has a good-sized feature list though: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ReleaseProcess It's definitely planned and been requested by quite a few users. We need to do this to better support some Bluetooth stuff anyway.

Re: WiFi and PPP support
Hi, It isn't usual to have a direct DSL connection which is both cabled and wireless. Seems that you have some device between your DSL connection and your wifi net. This device is, in general, a router. All you have to do, using a router, is connect your DSL modem to the router's WAN port, and configure the router to autenticate the PPPoE. This is a very confortable setup, as you don't need to worry with PPPoE in the local machines. 2010/3/1 Marco Antonelli : > Hello, > I am trying to configure a network connection with Ubuntu 9.10 through my > DSL modem, which is connected to my laptop through ethernet or wifi (I can > estabilish a connection to my home wlan). > I managed to establish a connection to the Internet with a DSL connection I > created with NetworkManager, but it only works if I attach the ethernet > cable, thus not through WiFi. > After some web-searching I ended up here: > http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-November/msg00218.html > were I read that NetworkManager at the time of that post was not supporting > PPP over Wifi. > I therefore tried pppoeconf, and it worked (!) until I rebooted: pppoeconf > messed up NetworkManager, so I could not connect to my WLAN. > My questions: > -Is the 'PPP over Wifi' feature scheduled in a next release or under > development? > -Does somebody know a way to configure pppoeconf which allows ppp over wifi > without messing up NetworkManager? > Thank you very much for this project.

WiFi and PPP support
Hello, I am trying to configure a network connection with Ubuntu 9.10 through my DSL modem, which is connected to my laptop through ethernet or wifi (I can estabilish a connection to my home wlan). I managed to establish a connection to the Internet with a DSL connection I created with NetworkManager, but it only works if I attach the ethernet cable, thus not through WiFi. After some web-searching I ended up here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-November/msg00218.html were I read that NetworkManager at the time of that post was not supporting PPP over Wifi. I therefore tried pppoeconf, and it worked (!) until I rebooted: pppoeconf messed up NetworkManager, so I could not connect to my WLAN. My questions: -Is the 'PPP over Wifi' feature scheduled in a next release or under development? -Does somebody know a way to configure pppoeconf which allows ppp over wifi without messing up NetworkManager? Thank you very much for this project. I am using GNU/Linux since RedHat 8 and NetworkManager has been one of the best additions in all these years.
