Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

This section:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/modems-adsl-pppoe.html
still recommends using pppoeconf for setting up DSL connections. The Networkmanager applet can be used for this since its 0.7 release, so I think it would be more user-friendly if we would recommend/document the graphical way to set up this kind of connection.

I agree, the problem is that I don't have this type of connection in order to document it - can you provide a patch or steps?
