Comment 2 for bug 151539

True, but how can I tell my 15 years old cousin that she has to do
this every time she wants out of pppoe mode and into regular ethernet?

I could do it if there were some graphical interface like Network
manager to do it, but unfortunately the only "graphical" interface is
pppoe, which doesn't offer that functionality.

Don't get me wrong, I love command line and do a lot of things through
it, but some things(kind of "what regular user's need") should have a
graphical way to configure, turn off/on.
