nm-applet should have a menu that allows me to setup a ppp connection. For some reason that menu doesn't show up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the latest nm-applet & networkmanager 2. Click on the nm-applet icon Actual Results: There is no dialup configuration / connection menu. Expected Results: I should be able to setup a dialup connection and connect to that dialup network.
Not gnome.
The Gentoo backend does not support ppp connections, patches welcome.

The way 0.6.5 and 0.6.6 do it, I would say "maybe" - the proper way is the way that 0.7 is doing it. Unfortunately, I have just had almost no free time to do anything Gentoo, or FOSS in general related recently - Thank you for the email Steve to remind me about this bug. I am glad you are willing to work on this (unfortunately, I don't have any type of dialup access available to me anymore)
Is this bug still relevant? 0.7.x is in the tree now and support ppp connections.
Seems that this could be closed :-/
