Bug Description
After doing a fresh install of Lucid on a friend's older laptop, I was pleased to see al hardware detected and working. My friend was also impressed, as a new linux user. Sadly, his internet connection requires he connect via PPPoE using his wireless card, as his router is limited to allowing wireless functionality, but not remaining always connected. Making linux dial-up a PPPoE ADSL connectino proved virtually impossible, even after searching through countless forums. This process should not be so hard. Windows XP did it in a pinch. Countless users will be turned off of Ubuntu if this type of issue continues.
