1. create ADSL connection through MCC => speedtouch-firmware and ppp-pppoatm properly installed, everything looks OK 2. at the end of the process, ask for immediate connexion => the connexion fails 3. /var/log/messages last lines : Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: modified file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: modified file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: changed mode of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 to 755 Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: written ppp0 interface configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: running: /sbin/ifdown ppp0 daemon Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: running: /sbin/ifup ppp0 daemon Apr 23 15:35:00 localhost drakconnect[16123]: running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network-up start Apr 23 15:35:01 localhost NetworkManager[864]: ifcfg-rh: parsing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 ...

Looks like conflict between drakconnect & NetworkManager
just tell me if there is some test I can perform to confirm this.
you can *attach* your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 ?

You seem to have NM_CONTROLLED=yes in there... did you tick the box in MMC to "allow network Manager to control this connection"? If so you should maybe untick it?
Yes, I unticked it and now the connection works, thanks ! I'm only wondering what might have change from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, because I used to tick it also on Mageia 1 and it worked like this. Anyway, it is fixed for me so I'm marking this bug as resolved.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
Mageia 1 often didn't care about this checkbox. In Mageia 2 this checkbox got powers ;P

So, that's the explanation, thanks !
