Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Network manager manages Wired and Wireless connections just fine. But there is one type of connection it doesn't. I'm talking about double dial connections. In example, in my house if i want to connect to the Internet on my laptop what i have to do is:
1.-Connect to my wireless connection
2.-Once connected, configure PPPOE (sudo pppoeconf)
3.-just surf the web
The problem is that this work just once (and that's the strange thing). It works awesome! But after the next boot network manager won't work. it won't even list the detected wireless connections. I don't know why this happen, but is very annoying, mostly because it forces me to use WICD, which doesn't auto-detect wireless encryption type.
PS: Sorry about my english!
PS2: I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty. That has happened since always, with every ubuntu release and with every network-manager update, so i don't think version is very relevant.
