Hi,
ppp-udeb currently installs an interfaces(5) configuration file which doesn't
prevent
NetworkManager from managing the interface which is used for the PPPoE
connection.
As a result, the latter keeps unsuccessfully trying to run a DHCP client on
that interface,
which may lead to confusing error messages in some graphical desktop
environments.
There may be other side effects as well.
The attached patch adds configuration stanza which prevents NetworkManager from
managing the interface.
