Unfortunately this is still a bug.
To use pppoe over wifi, you need to run pppoeconfig as the NetworkManager does not currently support it.
After running pppoeconfig and a reboot,  it then causes NetworkManager to no longer work.

Title:
  network-manager stops working if pppoeconf is used

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I used pppoeconf in Ubuntu 9.04 as I did with earlier versions.

  There was a bug in pppoeconf, that prevented me from using it:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rp-pppoe/+bug/275415

  I relalized that it is possible to handle PPPoE connections from
  network-manager. I tried, but I couldn't make network-manager
  operational anymore. I tried renaming /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and
  configuring /etc/network/interfaces with no success.

  It seemed that network-manager was completely broken, since I couldn't
  setup regular LAN connection nor PPPoE.
