I'm not sure network-manager is the way to go. When enabled it makes just the configuration a nightmare because standard configuration file are either ignored or replaced. When I'm on a machine with network-manager trying to debug network problems, it is usually the first thing I disable. However I have no better solution to offer as I've never setup pppoe connections. -- Cédric Girard
