Hi all,
I was trying to use the pppoe features. I create a connection in gconf. But I
don't really know what it should have. Now I only put the directory ppp,
copying the settings of a vpn connection, the directory pppoe with the
username, password and service key and the directory connection with the type =
pppoe.
Of course, I suppose that password wouldn't be there but I don't know where to
put it right now.
After created the connection settings manually, I can activated the connection
with the applet but it returns an error and crashes NM. I debugged and I saw
that in function nm_ppp_manager_start, when was going to fill the ppp_settings
with the function pppoe_fill_defaults, it couldn't assign the default values to
the settings because it didn't exists.
I added these lines and at least it begins pppd.

About 3G, I could connect but when I disconnected I saw that a pppd process was
still alive and I couldn't kill it unless I stop NM.
Last question, because I'm a newbie, I don't really understand how NM creates
connections and the respectives settings. For example at applet-device-wired.c
in function wired_get_secrets, I can't see how it knows if the connection is
8021x or pppoe. When do you tell the connection is that type.
Sorry about my english and I hope I can help the project with my tests.
