Hi Alexander, Sorry, I can't test this anymore, since I'm now in a different country.
But I should have reported: After I had edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain nothing but: auto lo iface lo inet loopback I then next time I was where I need the dialup just copied back the backup I had made of /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider I was then able without problems to connect to the dialup from the commandline with pon dsl-provider Nothing got written to /etc/network/interfaces, which still contains only the two lines quoted above. Network-manager did not offer an entry for the dialup (which I don't need; I just used the CLI) and it had no problem managing the eth0 interface as such. -- pppoe connection over NetworkManager 0.6 managed ethernet device doesn't work 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
