Hi there,
the network at my university requires me to first connect to the WLAN and then use PPPoE to actually use the intertubes. Connecting to the WLAN itself works flawlessly (*hem*), the PPPoE though is a bit troublesome.
I first tried setting this up via the DSL tab in Gnome's NetworkManager, but that didn't work. The connection is listed (not very surprisingly) under the wired networks, not under the wireless ones. I tried to be sneaky and entered my wlan-adapter's MAC address in the "wired" tab, but that only made the entry disappear from the network listing entirely (in the menu that you see when you left-click the notification icon).
I did manage to set up the connection by running pppoe-setup as root. And although I did configure it to start at system boot, this doesn't happen. So now I have to run ifup as root every time I want to connect to the internet. To make things more annoying the WLAN connection disconnects somewhat frequently (lousy administration), prompting me do do ifdown and ifup each time that happens.
Any way to have this PPPoE connection up automatically, preferably via NetworkManager? Any help is much appreciated.
/W
I also see this issue in Fedora 12. Anybody got PPPoE working in Fedora 12 over WIFI?

Try using system-config-network with xdsl connection and see if it works
I can use pppoe-setup in console without problem, but there should be this functionality in NetworkManager, no?
