[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1446689@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 1.0.4-0ubuntu5

---------------
network-manager (1.0.4-0ubuntu5) wily; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/git_set_vpn_mtu_9736327b.patch: set the MTU for the VPN
    interface. (LP: #1498474)
  * debian/patches/lp1446689_git_use_kernel_pppoe_6fdfb031.patch: use the
    kernel-provided pppoe interfaces rather than requiring the use of rp-pppoe
    to use PPPoE; we switched to rp-pppoe some time ago to workaround a bug in
    detecting disconnects which has seen been fixed and could be worked around
    fairly simply with the right configuration. (LP: #1446689)
  * debian/rules: don't pass --with-pppoe to configure; the option is removed
    by the above patch.

Title:
  network-manager configured to use /usr/sbin/pppoe but does not
  recommend pppoe

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in network-manager package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  networkmanager switched from using ppp to using pppoe binary for
  dsl/pppoe connections, I am using pppoe and I can't connect to the
  Internet unless I install "pppoe" package.

  From:
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?h=nm-0-9-10&id=7955806a02db64b20079267743056d7d9d45af3b

  "for now, work around this by using the userland pppoe client rather
  than the kernel code"

  One way to fix it is to include pppoe
  Another way is to configure --with-pppoe=/usr/sbin/pppd.

  I think this is urgent as pppoe/dsl on all vivid machines will be
  broken out-of-the-box.
