Description of Problem: Both neat and internet-druid do not set a PPP interface to be the default route by default. This makes dialing out when you already have a default gateway a futile exercise, since the machine can't go anywhere on the dial-up connection (no route). It also has no effect on a machine without an existing default route, so it is a much better default. How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use internet-druid or neat to set up a dial-up interface. Note that "set this interface to be the default route" is in the Advanced options, and is not selected by default. 2. Attempt to use this connection to dial out on a machine with an existing default gateway. 3. Actual Results: No traffic possible on dial-up interface, name resolution and network traffic go undetermined (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't). Expected Results: Dial-up interface should be set to the default route while active by default, to allow a network-connected PC to dial out to access a specific remote network. A dial-up connection should not remove the entries in /etc/resolv.conf from a pre-existing connection by default. That assumes that the local (network, not dial-up) DNS server has access to the internet, so this should be a toggleable choice (it is, PEERDNS) which defaults to Yes (for the majority who are dialing out normally).

It's fixed in CVS.
