I've also tried GNOME's network-admin, but that seems to fail with ppp interfaces. All I get is a "Could not enable interface ppp0". Somehow 'ifdown eth0 && ifup ppp0' and 'ifdown ppp0 && ifup eth0' work on command line. Except 'ifup ppp0' doesn't provide feedback if something goes from with the ppp setup like it often goes with these GSM/GPRS thingies. > ifplugd and automatic ppp setup work, allmost, but lack a gui in gnome. > They work if eth0 is not set as auto while ppp is set as auto.
