To undo the pppoeconf settings isn't very easy. If you use the pppoeconf settings you can connect to the Internet without connecting via network manager. So if there is a case that you want to undo this settings, without reinstalling the whole operating system, I have a little tutorial.
1) open console
2) get root:
sudo -s
3) edit nm-system-settings.conf
cd /etc/NetworkManager
ls -la
gedit ./nm-system-settings.conf
You have to write managed=true under [ifupdown]
4) edit interfaces
cd /etc/network
ls -la
gedit interfaces
This file must look like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 dhcp
5) Restart your computer
reboot
6) Finished.
PS: If there are some questions, make a comment.

I'm going to try it right now - thanks for your tutorial.
ReplyDeletethank much, worked great. only thing is now under my wired connections i have an entry for ifupdown(eth0), which i cannot delete.
ReplyDeletei assume it has something to do w/ my nm-system-settings.conf file, which looks like:
[main[
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
no-auto-default=00:le:ec:37:f1:ca,
[ifupdown]
managed=true
can you tell me what to modify in there? does not seem to be causing any probs, but just want to know.
thanks
