Undo and Reverse Changes to your Linux Mint system after using pppoeconf

The pppoeconf utility was tested and used successfully on a Linux Mint 19.2 installation with a PC that had a wired Ethernet controller and a Wireless controller also. The wireless controller is not relevant to this example.

The owner of the system no longer needed to use pppoeconf on the system after purchasing a router/firewall appliance. However, it was no longer possible to configure the network settings from the Mint applet.
