Well, the fact that your modem works both as a router and a modem make me a bit hesitant on how to deal with this bug. But it is basically a known fact that pppoe is incompatible with the Network Manager. And there is a specification that would be hoped to be deal with in Hardy, although development on this seems slow. In fact, there is 2 specifications that seems to have not known of each other before recently: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/pppoeconf-gui (accepted for Hardy, but still in new state). https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dial-up-support
Basically, it seems that pppoeconf create an entry in /etc/interfaces, but generally, NetwworkManager ignores interfaces having an entry in /etc/interfaces. Which suggest you should rather use 'pon dsl-provider' and optionally 'poff' to use pppoe for now, rather than Network Manager. Anyway, I am confirming the bug to let a network-manager decide more appropriately how to deal with this bug. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: Paul Dufresne (dufresnep) => (unassigned) -- configuring a pppoe connection with pppoeconf locks local network functionality https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
