Manual Network Connection

[g.]

Hi,

I have a strange problem with my DSL connection.

I use the widget Network Manager to connect to the wifi. The I run

sudo pppoeconf

to establish the pppoe connection. Everything works fine.

If a shut down the PC, however, when turning on again it happens that Network Manager does not see anymore any wifi available.

Of course, I can see them by running

sudo iwlist scan

There is a solution, I just have to comment all the lines in

/etc/network/interfaces

and reboot.

So, somewhere, somehow, pppoeconf is modifying those configuration file in a way that Network manager does not like.

Here is the interfaces file that is not working:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

any suggestion is appreciated

best,
g.
