Hello
I upgraded vivid to wily yesterday and my networking is broken
Not sure but it looked like this bug?


Machine with vivid upgraded to wily: network not working

$ ip -d route
unicast 117.195.32.1 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src 117.195.47.122
unicast 169.254.0.0/16 dev ppp0  proto boot  scope link  metric 1000 [/code]

By contrast 14.10 booted from usb and pppoe by hand -- network working

$ ip -d route
unicast default dev ppp0  proto boot  scope link
unicast 117.195.32.1 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src 117.195.40.157
unicast 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.2  metric 1


Some evident issues

- The absence of default is an obvious problem
- The large metric is another problem
- eth0 has become ppp0

As suggested earlier in this thread I downloaded pppoe package and installed it by hand (since apt is down with not networking)
But its not helped

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.
