~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your dialup configurations can now be one in network-manager connection editor. Because of that /etc/network/interfaces configurations are considered “legacy” from a network manager point of view.

However, if you want to use your /etc/network/interfaces configuration make sure that you have the ifupdown plugin in “Unmanaged mode” and take care that the used wired/wireless device is also configured in /etc/network/interfaces.

Not that NetworkManager 0.7 will not provive UI hooks to up and down ppp connections managed outside of NetworkManager itself (not that it ever worked nicely before).

I don’t think the Mobile Broadband support in nm-0.7 will handle bluetooth dun connections, but then again I have never looked or tried.

To have a PPP connection show up in network manager, it just needs to be listed in /etc/network/interfaces. ie:

iface bigpond inet ppp

As far as I know this still applies even through to ubuntu-9.04.

This caused me some problems in terms of reinstalling them, since I then lost all network connectivity :-(. But I could reconfigure the sources to only look at the cd and reinstall them. My network name resolution now works - thank you very much for responding to my problem. You can now take it this method works using Motorola MQ9h, on Ubuntu 8.10. (still connecting with pon and disconnecting with poff.) Hope to fugure out how to get this conenction in Network Manager listed....
