Comment 14 for bug 432205

Guess that's too late to get fixed for Karmic release.

Unfortunately there are many users (at least here) that need pppoe for DSL connections.

It would be nice to have this fixed as update immediately after the release but this means that they'll have to use pppoeconf anyway in order to get the updates.

Maybe we could mention the workaround in the release notes or send a message to the syslog when a pppd timeout occurs
 explaining that pppoeconf might work.
