Thanks for your update!
Helped me to fix my pppoeconf vs. network-manager in Mint-Debian-Edition.

…actually I refers above to the network-manager 0.8.1~beta1~git.20100531t133213.12d2664-0ubuntu1~nmt1~karmic version of https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/trunk , updated lately on 2010-06-01.

The older (and working version) is no more donwloadable, as far as I see…

It worked fine until the last upgrade proposed by the system and then NM 0.8.1 stop working… but now I don’t know what to do… (all the previous think already done…)

HI There,

Thanks for the guide. I’ve had problem getting pppoe to work on my new laptop with ubuntu 9.10. It still only works with pppoeconf and tt’s still kind of dodgy, sometimes loosing the connection unexpectedly and not allowing me to reconnect.

So i got the newest version, following your guide, it’s definitely still never than the standard ubuntu version ’cause it’s complety translated to my current language setting (danish) which it wasn’t before.

However i still can’t get DSL pane to work. I can enter my pppoe settings just fine (analog to what i type in pppoeconf), but it seems to have absolutely no effect what so ever. My isp doesn’t requires the password to be left blank. Maybe this causes problems. Also where do you specify what ethernet/wlan interface to use? With pppoeconf it searches for an accesspoint on the selected interface (or all interfaces if none is specified) a forehand. Is there a guide or example somewhere that you know about?
(i know it’s supposed to be easier, but really it isn’t – especially since theres no explicit activation button – very annoying)

Anyway, thankyou for any input you might have.

The same here…. just followed the recipe as you described and worked like a charm… thanks a lot.
The only problem is that you only discover this kind of thing (Network Manager bug) when you need it the most (my case, for instance, I always use wifi, but had to use pppoe while travelling in China – good I had naother computer to follow up this site, hehe).

It works ! Thanks. After reboot you have to go to network manager modifications, DSL, add a new connexion and you tip your Id and password.
