he obviously did that by pointing to a NM bug

pppoe does not work on ubuntu desktop installs today due to that bug, it
is very simple ... network-manager is a standard component of an ubuntu
desktop no matter if you can hack your own pppoe config on cmdline or if
it works on arch for you (which you will likely mention again in your
next answer...)

regardless if pppoe can be hacked to make it work, the bug rightly
points out that using the ubuntu standard way it does not work.
