network manager pppoe+wifi

[ororo]

Binary package hint: network-manager

This is not a bug report, but a request of improvement.

I have a DSL pppoe connection, through a wifi modem. At the moment, I have to use network-manager in order to connect to wifi, and then "sudo pon dsl-provider" for DSL. I cannot see a way, inside network manager, to use a DSL connection through a wifi modem.

This is quite annoying, because pppoeconf and network manager do not work very well together, as I wrote here:

Here is another possibly related bug:

Thank you.

Marking Wishlist/Low: this is a request for improvement, so marked as Wishlist. I agree it's not the easiest right now to deal with DSL over wifi with NM.
