We just had a discussion on our local (Brussels) LUG about PPPoE
configuration and the current lack of tools (besides pppoeconf).
I planned to look at NetworkManager and see how I could add PPPoE
support but it was on the premise it was going to be used by Ubuntu.

How did the situation evolve ?

I think a safe bet would be a GTK+ version of pppoeconf; it wouldn't
be much difficult and could hopefully be integrated in whatever tool
get choosen later.
