I was trying to configure my PPPoE connection and I just can't make it work. If I leave the "service" entry blank then the form just throws and error "Service" and will not consider the data I have entered as valid. My ISP needs that "service" entry to be blank, else the connection won't work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the networkmanager 2. Try to create a DSL PPPOE connection 3. Enter username, password and leave the "service" entry blank. Throws an error. Actual Results: I have no network connection.

Hello, Is there any chance that a patch can be provided for 0.9.0.1? Kbuntu LTS ships with KDE 4.8.5 and version 0.9.0.1 of the applet so the fix in 0.9.0.2 does not get integrated in the re-spins of the ISO images. Sure, they provide updated packages in their backports ppa for KDE but if I can't connect that does not do me very much good :(
Sorry, but that is not possible. There is only one branch for the entire 0.9.0.x series. If you already have a valid connection, which does not require secrets or is configured as system connection you can activate it using the following command line: nmcli connection up id "<connection name>"
Ok, thanks for your reply. The workaround I've used was to put something in the service field and then erase it from the relevant file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
