Hi Guys

Is it just me or is PPP support in factory currently horribly broken?

I have:
yast2-network-2.13.59-2
ppp-2.4.4-7
kinternet-0.75-23

When trying to dial with kinternet all of my providers give the following 
error:

 unrecognized option 'replacedefaultroute'

In "/sbin/yast2 modem" if I uncheck the "Default Route" option I can 
successfully connect as expected but then am forced to manually "route 
add -net 0/0 dev modem0" after dialing up.

Additionally, while primary and secondary DNS addresses show up correctly in 
the pppd logs, they are not set correctly in resolve.conf which means they 
have to be added by hand after every dialup also!

I tried removing ppp and kinternet and manually blowing away providers, modems 
and /etc/ppp directory before reinstalling from latest factory however the 
problems remain.

I dialup to 5 or 6 different providors up to 100 times per day so these 
problems are slightly annoying for me :-)

(Also, as a side note, when is decent ppp support going to be added to 
NetworkManager???)

Cheers
