Dan, you've been asking for debug infos about NetworkManager
& the
resolv.conf problem, so here it comes:
I've been trying to use NetworkManager to manage my ethernet and
wireless devices on FC3. As it was previously said on the list,
NetworkManager sometimes erase the current resolv.conf file with en
empty one.
Ok, I think I know what's going on here. NM used to have a "feature"
where it would not attempt touch a wired connection that was active when
NM started up. This was present to allow users with network-mounted
home directories to use NM (if you bring down the network device, your
computer basically freezes because your homedir is network mounted).
I removed that "feature" quite a few weeks ago because it caused too
many problems, like this one. Current CVS and the builds in rawhide
shouldn't have this problem, but FC3 builds have lagged behind a bit.
What version of NetworkManager are you running? Is this the one from
fc3-updates or fc3-updates-testing?
