I cannot set new connection as well as use the one set before using the gnome frontend. I am most interested in using pppoe with my ethernet card, not a DSL device. 831588 1 wstephenson 2009-09-16 20:22:12 +0000 Is PPPOE over an ethernet card possible with the gnome nm-applet? 831958 2 emmanuel.touzery 2009-09-17 07:36:52 +0000 Yes absolutely PPPoE over an ethernet card is possible with the GNOME nm-applet. This is exactly my use-case and i can tell you it works. 833124 3 og_blingg 2009-09-19 21:45:59 +0000 Yea, I can confirm too...PPPoE with nm-applet works like a charm 833308 4 kneczaj 2009-09-20 13:12:58 +0000 In the gnome applet you can set pppoe connection using an ethernet card in dsl tab and after that it's listed in dsl category. The only difference between setting pppoe using an ethernet card and a dsl device is that that in the field 'MAC address' you must type MAC address of your ethernet card instead dsl device. 836434 5 wstephenson 2009-09-27 18:35:56 +0000 SVN commit 1028570 by wstephens: Enable PPPoE on ethernet devices, please test.

I have a problem with knetworkmanager. Connections made using gnome frontend aren't listed in knetworkmanager module for managing connections. Whereas connections created using the same module in knetworkmanager aren't visible for NetworkManager and cannot be used, so at the moment it doesn't work for me. Created connections also don't appear in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. Gnome's nm-applet saves connection settings in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections (now I have there 3 connections: AGH, dhcp, lanbit, the last one is pppoe), whereas knetworkmanager saves settings in ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/. Maybe it doesn't work because of this. 836777 8 wstephenson 2009-09-28 09:37:28 +0000 The place the settings are saved does not matter, because the settings are communicated by the client to NetworkManager as DBUS objects, not via the filesystem. Please compare the PPPoE connections made by nm-applet and by knetworkmanager with the instructions at http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement#It.27s_All_KDE.27s_Fault.21 (If you want to compare a system setting, replace org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings with org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings in the qdbus command described above) Please also provide NetworkManager logs from when knetworkmanager is started to the unsuccessful PPPoE connection attempt; log locations are given at the above url. 836782 9 wstephenson 2009-09-28 09:44:29 +0000 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204340 tracks the separate issue of editing/adding system connections 836793 10 kneczaj 2009-09-28 10:30:19 +0000 Ok, I will try to diagnose that using qdbusfornm. Now I noticed that knetworkmanager doesn't see only my pppoe over ethernet card connections. VPN and common wired connections are listed in knetworkmanager main menu, but pppoe ones don't. There isn't neither the systemwide 'lanbit' connection nor the one created using knetworkmanager. 836814 11 wstephenson 2009-09-28 11:26:10 +0000 Thanks for the info, I'll try to reproduce the missing PPPoE system connections - should be easy enough to fix. 836820 12 kneczaj 2009-09-28 11:42:14 +0000 knetworkmanager: qdbus --system --literal org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0 org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.GetSettings: a{sa{sv}} { "connection" = [Argument: a{sv} { "autoconnect" = false "id" = "kde", "type" = "pppoe" "uuid" = "14dbb1ad-fb60-4c03-919b-e2bc5348baaa" "ppp" = [Argument: a{sv} {}], "pppoe" = [Argument: a{sv} { "service" = "", "username" = "neczaj"]}]}] I've formatted these outputs a bit. The "kde" is local pppoe connection made using knetworkmanager. ------------------------------------------------------------------ nm-applet: the systemwide 'lanbit' connection qdbus --system --literal org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/3 org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.GetSettings [Argument: a{sa{sv}} { "ppp" = [Argument: a{sv} {}], "ipv4" = [Argument: a{sv} { "addresses" = [Variant: [Argument: aau {}]], "dns" = [Variant: [Argument: au {}]], "routes" = [Variant: [Argument: aau {}]], "method" = "auto" "pppoe" = [Argument: a{sv} { "username" = "neczaj" "connection" = [Argument: a{sv} { "uuid" = "d87bf2f4-9f29-4861-8434-9d931e2eb131" "autoconnect" = false "id" = "lanbit" "type" = "pppoe" "802-3-ethernet" = [Argument: a{sv} { "mac-address" = {0, 24, -13, -113, -45, -108} "duplex" = "full" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In my opinion the main problem is that knetworkmanager's menu doesn't see any of these two pppoe connections so I even cannot try to connect. On the other hand, these connections are a bit different, this may be another issue. 852999 13 kneczaj 2009-10-30 16:06:20 +0000 (In reply to comment #11) > Thanks for the info, I'll try to reproduce the missing PPPoE system connections > - should be easy enough to fix. What's with it? You say it should be easy, but the issue stopped. 863693 14 wstephenson 2009-11-17 16:16:10 +0000 It's easy but low priority for me since many more people are having problems with other connection types like wireless and vpn... 865451 15 bluec_751 2009-11-20 15:41:59 +0000 I don't wanna be rude, but 1 easy fix = 1 less bug to fix later... :) 865554 16 st.vater 2009-11-20 18:02:38 +0000 Additionally, I think that since the DSL tab in the configuration menu is enabled now, it should be also possible to use it. Otherwise not so experienced people might get confused... Nevertheless, you guys do great work, thank you very much to have such good kde4 already! 942021 17 st.vater 2010-03-29 14:12:18 +0000 Hi, is there any chance that this will be fixed in the near future? Eg., for KDE SC 4.5? It is kind of funny: I configured my DSL connection in the DSL-Tab, and sometimes NM connects by itself. When it does not, I can use cnetworkmanager to connect. In both cases the knetworkmanager icon shows that it is connected in the end. Unfortunatelly, this does not work with the plasma-widget (r1057339). As said above, to me it seems that only the connection buttom is missing. I would also give it a try to see if I can fix it, if someone could tell me in which files to look ... and if this is possible for someone unexperienced in QT and kde programming ... 1029305 18 st.vater 2010-10-08 17:01:38 +0000 Now, the same procedure also works for plasma-nm (r1180608 with kde 4.5.2, opensuse 11.3), as I described above for knetworkmanager. But a button to (dis)connect a DSL connection is still missing. So let's hope for the first official 1.0 release :-) 1116768 19 lamarque 2011-05-08 21:19:44 +0000 *** Bug 242088 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1139793 20 lamarque 2011-07-08 22:57:24 +0000 *** Bug 264176 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1145440 21 62187 ilia-kats 2011-07-25 18:59:03 +0000 Created attachment 62187 Patch to make PPPoE connections appear when an ethernet device is available Can someone please test the attached patch?

I did several commits that change how Plasma NM updates the system tray icon. I still need to implement secrets storage selection (user or system) for pppoe settings. NM stores secrets by default, probably that is why your connection is system type. 1167744 38 de.techno 2011-09-28 02:06:01 +0000 I'll try it out. 1169569 39 de.techno 2011-10-03 13:39:40 +0000 Sorry for the late response, I couldn't find this bug.
