I even tried reinstalling slackware 14.1 and selecting network manager as default during setup only. That too did not work. Fed up, I have installed Ubntu 13.04 and did the same process to connect through network manager applet, with no hassels (was able to configure/connect within seconds). It just doesn't work with slackware on my laptop.

Is it because of some architectural difference or maybe something related to network confguration is disabled by default in slackware whereas is enable in other distros (say ubuntu) by default?

smpppd-ifcfg is a daemon that controls a single dialup connection to the internet. It does so by starting and controlling the pppd. The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2. smpppd-ifcfg is not intended for direct use. Use ifup and ifdown or a frontend like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet instead. OPTIONS
These options are recognized by smpppd-ifcfg. If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory for the equivalent short option also. --up Bring the connection up. This is the default action. --down Bring the connection down. --status Report status of the connection. -i, --ifcfg=NAME Specify the ifcfg file to use. This option is mandatory. -p, --provider=NAME Specify the provider file to use. --detach Detach from the controlling terminal. This is the default. --nodeatch Don't detach from the controlling terminal. -d, --debug Turn on debugging. --version Show program version and exit. --help Show help information and exit. FILES
