So you want to use a wireless bridge to start a ppoe connection over wireless 
like the description here: 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-November/msg00211.html 
? I had the same problem when installing Intrepid on some friend's machines who 
are clients of a popular German provider that usually delivers the combination 
bridge + ADSL modem.
A possible workaround still using network-manager would be: Connect to the 
wireless network via n-m, giving yourself any static ip. Then run pppoeconf to 
configure your pppoe connection. This will change your /etc/network/interfaces 
so that this interface is not managed in n-m any more. Revert these changes by 
commenting out all the lines with the interface you configured. Then you can 
connect with n-m to the network and finally you use 'pon dsl-provider'.

[Intrepid] network-manager only allows to use either eth0 or ppp0
