I just installed network-manager from https://launchpad.net/~network-
manager/+archive/trunk to Karmic 64bit and I can make DSL connection via
nm. Thank you for your effective fix. Well done !

Let me have a few questions / remarks:

1) I have manually commented out sections created by pppoeconf  in 
/etc/network/interfaces in order to have only the following section effective:
        #  --------------------------------------------
        # The loopback network interface
        auto lo
        iface lo inet loopback
        #  --------------------------------------------
Is it all right? Is it enough?

2) There is again the problem of "insufficient privileges" when one
wants to edit any already existing DSL connection with the "for all
users" range of effect. Then after this alert nm applet behaves like it
has crashed and restarted.
