Description Stanislav Zaprudskiy 2014-09-15 06:45:42 UTC 
pppd does have the 'unit' option to assign the <n> in ppp<n> interface name - this is extremely useful for example in  iptables rules in multi-pppoe environment.

We would glad to see the similar option for NetworkManager, just because it became the primary network management system for mainstream distributions.

Sorry, just didn't received any e-mail confirmation that issues https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736485 was created. Also I wasn't able to find it without ID.
