Network Manager and ADSL Dynamic IP

[L M Nicolosi]

A couple of days ago upgraded to Feisty and can't auto connect to ADSL 
provider anymore.

Network Manager reports DNS correctly (probably from 
System/Administration/Network) but assigns an IP for a (non existent) 
local net such as: 192.168.1.10 / 192.168.1.63.

After "poff dsl-provider" and "pon dsl-provider" in terminal, connection 
is restored and dynamic IPs are correctly assigned such as:  
201.1.152.58 (local) / 200.100.11.252 (remote).

Plog and Ifconfig confirm true net status.

Network Manager keeps reporting active network but with the same fake 
local IPs.

Kept  etc/network/interfaces trimmed to the minimum with no reference to 
eth, but it didn't seem to make any difference but clear the 
System/Administration/Network/WiredConnections option.

Previous 6.10 version was working perfectly with pppoeconf.

Did not find this bug reported anywhere. Maybe anything related to 
previous scripts left by 6.10 install?
