A screenshot of the warnings I got using yast's network settings

Hello, I am a yast user and I want to use yast to manage my network configuration. However, I found that yast does not support PPPOE configuration, or rather, **if I configure PPPOE elsewhere, yast cannot use the network settings function to configure other network cards**.

I hope that yast can add support for PPPOE configuration, or at **least not let me completely lose the ability to use yast's network settings function to configure other network cards because of configuring PPPOE elsewhere.** In this way, I can easily manage my network settings without worrying about conflicts with PPPOE.

My operating system is openSUSE Leap 15.5, and the version of yast is 4.5.25. I have provided some screenshots in the attachment to illustrate my situation.

In addition, I need to declare that I use `rp-pppoe` to configure pppoe. This is the configuration information of my pppoe interface:

# /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ppp0

we used to support dialup / xDSL, but dropped support long time ago as it simply became minor use case. FYI, the functionality was moved into https://github.com/yast/yast-dialup and conserved there. However, I hardly doubt that the module could work for you as yast experienced huge refactoring since that time. 

So, I'm sorry but we cannot help you anytime soon (the feature request wouldn't pass through product management any time soon), as we have more used yast modules to support and some new projects to develop, so we cannot invest into minor use cases.
