Description Bidossessi SODONON 2008-07-29 22:49:48 UTC 
Kinternet should not be hardcoded as a dependency for yast pppoe configuration

PPPOE fonctionality is now supposed to be part of the kernel
NetworkManager includes a "dsl" tab for all required (A)DSL configurations
Not everybody installs KDE
NetworkManager is a constant accross all major Window Managers in openSUSE
Needing to download a basically not-necessary app to configure internet connection sometimes leads to a catch 22 (need kinternet to get on the net and need the net to get kinternet) which is sad since there are perfectly viable alternatives;

Yast should rely on NetworkManager for all connectivity issues, when user control is expected.
Comment 1 Michal Zugec 2008-09-23 13:59:58 UTC 
This is not possible to be implemented because NetworkManager and YaST don't uses same configuration files (with YaST you can't setup configuration for NetworkManager anymore)
