Well, the fact that your modem works both as a router and a modem make me a bit
hesitant on how to deal with this bug.
But it is basically a known fact that pppoe is incompatible with the Network
Manager.
And there is a specification that would be hoped to be deal with in Hardy,
although development on this seems slow.
In fact, there is 2 specifications that seems to have not known of each other
before recently:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/pppoeconf-gui (accepted for
Hardy, but still in new state).
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dial-up-support
Basically, it seems that pppoeconf create an entry in /etc/interfaces,
but generally, NetwworkManager ignores interfaces having an entry in
/etc/interfaces. Which suggest you should rather use 'pon dsl-provider'
and optionally 'poff' to use pppoe for now, rather than Network Manager.
Anyway, I am confirming the bug to let a network-manager decide more
appropriately how to deal with this bug.
