Thanks Beniamino,

I succeeded creating the connection with nmcli, following your advice.

Here is the command that did the trick, with my internet provider settings :

nmcli c add save yes type adsl protocol pppoa username <username> 
password <password> ifname speedtch0 adsl.encapsulation llc adsl.vpi 8 
adsl.vci 35

The only minor problem left is that this connection is not listed in 
nm-applet GUI, so I have to use the command line to manage it. Do you 
know if there is a way to have it appear in nm-applet GUI ?
