In Window is simple: 1) I create a a new connection (RDS) as PPPoE and configure with username and password. 2) I have a wireless access point tp-link I plug my cable and my laptop is connected on wireless 3)To make the connection available I simple click on connection RDS (I am connected to wireless) and everything is OK.

How to make this connection work on Ubuntu? I make a new connection with my username and password and named it RDS and I am connected to my wireless access point but how to make my internet to work?

Unfortunately you can't make pppoe connections over wifi using the network manager. They have logged this as a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/613679

The work around to make pppoe connections over wifi is shown here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10595616&postcount=7

Good luck

If I read you correctly what you require is a RDS client package from the package manager

Could you give a specific package name? – ObsessiveSSOℲ Aug 3 '12 at 13:06
