Bug Description
Binary package hint: pppoe
I installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Beta from the LiveCD.
When running of the LiveCD, and directly after the installation, the PPPoE connection is perfect and a breeze to set up (using 'pppoeconf').
Right after the installation, Ubuntu mentioned a lot of new updates and asked if I wanted to install them. I did and after a reboot (I guess because of a kernel update - can't remember exactly) the PPPoE connection failed. I can post the output of 'plog' if it helps (I am on Windows XP right now).
I installed Feisty Fawn twice from the LiveCD and encountered this connection problem twice. Does anyone have a clue if this is the updates fault or something else and if it will be fixed before the official April release?
Many thanks.

I experienced the same issue.
I decided to investigate, and found that the IP address was in the right subnet, the DNS servers were correct, so I investigated the route and found this:
On system start my routing table looks like this:
64.230.197.93 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
there's no default route. This is what it looks like after poff && pon dsl-provider:
64.230.197.93 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
Trying to figure out how ubuntu starts it's ppp connection led me to /etc/ppp/ pppoe_on_ boot but I couldn't find a script that called it. Perhaps this is an issue with avahi or another package that modifies the kernel routing table. Either way, I wasn't able to find a cause for the missing default route.
Best,
