Please can we add the ability to make dsl (pppoe) connections over  wi-
fi using the network manager. You can do it over wired but not over
wifi.

The workaround is shown here:

Title:
  DSL Connections are not showing up over Wireless

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  DSL Connections (PPPoE) are always listed under Wired Networks, so
  when you are connected to a Wireless Network, they will not be listed,
  and you can not connect to them.

  I have PPPoE over my Wireless Network, and I should always use command line (pppoeconf,pon,poff) to make the connection.
  However, when I'm connecting to the network using an Ethernet cable, they will show up and I can use them without any problem.

  $ lsb_release -rd
