Comment # 6 on bug 870370 from Axel K�llhofer

I can confirm this behaviour (after dist-upgrade from 12.3 to 13.1).

Well, this is still possible of course, but before it was also possible to use
qinternet/cinternet for that task.

It is also not an issue related to access permissions, even as root the Wired
and Wireless interfaces with "STARTMODE='manual'" are missing.

What is interesting though according to your statement I cited above

cinternet -I
01 i modem0

the interface "modem0" is set to "STARTMODE=manual" but smpppd still can "see"
it (that� s why I wrote "wired and wireless interfaces", at least interfaces
being handled by pppd have not disappeared).
