I doubt this is a bug in demudi, I'm fairly sure the network
configuration tools are no different to those in Debian or Ubuntu.
I don't understand why you're using either PPPoE or PPPoA, Bal, you
would use these for connecting directly to a modem, surely? Have a look
and check how the other distros are doing it - I would expect them to
talk directly to the router via a straightforward network connection. If
you really have to use PPP for this, then it could be complicated to
configure.
