Bug Description
I am using n-m 0.7.1~rc3.
The network setup is the following: A wireless bridge connected to a DSL modem (which is the default setup of a German provider called 'Alice'). Using Ubuntu 8.10, I connected to the wireless bridge and then could run pppoeconf to configure the DSL connection, as network-manager cannot handle this over wireless. 'pon dsl-provider' worked fine, then. But with Jaunty now, pppoeconf seems to be blocked by network-manager. It scans through all interfaces but cannot find the DSL modem any more. Forcing a configuration of the interface wlan0 does not help, 'pon' does not connect.
This happens on the computer, I was installing Ubuntu on, fresh Jaunty Beta. Also on mine with updated Alpha-something and on Ubuntu 8.10 with network-manager 0.7-0ubuntu1~
Changed in network-manager (Ubuntu): | |

I am not sure where this regression comes from, but for now I would lean towards the wireless driver or wpasupplicant.
What chipset are you using?
