this might be OT but let me say it:
i think the indication is just fine, configuring a pppoe connection should
be handled by pppoeconf, since NM has quite a few cases in which it fails to
connect DSL ppp over ethernet, where pppoeconf just simply works.
another reason for this is that pppoeconf has an interactive UI, a wizard so
to speak, one question at a time. NM doesn't have a wizard for DSL pppoe
until today.
perhaps Zenity can help with this for now?!
there is also a configuration bug, that disables NM, once pppoeconf
configures pppoe..
simple file deletion workaround is available for that, once one is ready to
switch back to NM.
