[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#527637: Miss PPPoE

[Marco]

I have a similar problem with NM: it lacks PPPoE. Because it I need to use
pppoeconf:

# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
	address 192.168.1.8
	netmask 255.255.255.0

auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

# EOF

On boot, my routes looks like:

# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
200.nnn.nn.nn   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0

This occurs because NM starts after networking and pppoe.

I need to run `poff -r' to get reachable routes:

# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
200.nnn.nn.nn   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0

I can avoid the problem disabling NM or setting `managed=false' at
`/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf'. But if I put NM offline neither
Evolution or Empathy do connect.
