Binary package hint: network-manager

Okay, so I have a pppoe-connection to my internet-provider which I connect to via a WLAN-AP that's connected with my home-network.

In network-manager I can set up my Ethernet (eth0) connection to connect to the local network and my ppp0e (ppp0) connection to the internet. When I click on network-manager, I only have radio-buttons to select the desired "wired connection" which only allows me to EITHER start eth0 OR ppp0. When I'm connected to the internet, I can't access the LAN and vice-versa.

The ony solution for me right now is to use pppoeconf and configure the eth0-connection via config file, which of course breaks network-manager.

What I am asking for is simple: Allow the use of more than just one "wired connection" in network-manager (ditch the radio buttons and make them "multiple choice"?)

here's my etc/network/interfaces: (comments were made by me for better readability here, they're not in the file itself)

##BEGIN interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto dsl-provider

auto eth0

iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider
iface eth0 inet manual

##END interfaces
