I don't understand what this means.

these options where to configure dsl modems directly connected to the computer through USB. Nowaday (at least in France) everybody uses "boxes" linked through etherneet and that do not need any openSUSE config

This option was to setup PPPoE client. This works over LAN in bridged mode; USB DSL modems simply emulate Ethernet interface and bridge everything from WAN to it.

The question is how I can configure my network connection (which uses a DSL bridge/modem).

It looks like wicked may support PPPoE; but there is no documentation how to set it up, the only source of information is interface configuration schema where pppoe is mentioned.

This looks like genuine regression. I wonder, what happens if there is existing configuration on update?

Yes, it is PPPoE. How can I set it up?

I do not know how to setup it with wicked, sorry. I suggest you open bug report that this configuration was possible with 13.1 and becomes seemingly impossible with 13.2.

You may try NetworkManager as workaround. In the worst case setup rp-pppoe manually ...

OK, I tried rp-pppoe manually (downloaded on another installation). Installation and setup was OK, it connect but can't ping anything. Seems that the nameserver is not configured correctly. It should get the nameserver address from the provider (as oS 12.2 does it correctly) but is doesn't. Even if I can solve this nameserver issue how I make it work with kinterent/qinternet?

I do not know what kiniternet is, but at the end yast simply created PPP configuration. Why it should stop working when the same configuration is created manually?

In the meantime I found others have the same problem:

This link provides detail step by step instructions how to configure PPP manually including how to get nameserver from provider and how to create systemd service to start connection on boot.

Also seems to read that DSL setup is problematic even with NetworkManager too in 13.2

There is nothing about NetworkManager in links quoted by you. What is this statement based on?

This is not a minor issue. Removing such an option (been there for more than a decade) and it is not worth mentioning in the release notes?!

It is so UNPROFESSIONAL.

Did you file bug report? Did you test 13.2 before release? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
