Two years later and I still have to struggle with setting up a PPP connection in Ubuntu. Is there any chance this might get fixed one day? It can be done very easily through a GUI in OS X and Windows, but in Ubuntu I have to go through the same *setup_using_pppoeconf-break_other_connections-happen_uppon_this_old_hack* loop every time I have to set up someboy's computer on this kind of access network.
I mean, I know this is a corner case, but it still counts towards building an image for Ubuntu. If you're trying to impress somebody to become a new user and he sees you have to do some terminal mumble-jumble to set up his/her net connection, it definitely doesn't seem as nice as simply doing 3 clicks in a GUI.
Surely it wouldn't be a big patch for somebody who has some insights about the inner workings of Network manager.
Cheers for nm stability other than that! This is the only major bug I noticed :)
Bump.
