adsl setup with pppoeconf ist not working properly anymore.

[Torsten]

In Ubuntu 9.04, the DSL modem setup isn't working properly.
First setup with pppoeconf is running ok, but after the updates of Ubuntu 9.04,
pppoeconf suddenly failed and stopped and it's impossible for newbies to restart
the Internet access.
Please fix that problem really soon! Most people in my country are using a DSL modem to get online
and not everyone has WLAN.

Thanks! ;-)
