11.10 resolv.conf

[gusz]

I just installed 11.10, and thereafter resolv.conf is apparently replaced by null on reboot by NetworkManager. Thus no name resolution after reboot until I manually re-enter nameservers in resolv.conf. I think I saw reference to this as a bug, does someone know if that's the case, and if there's a workaround?

I did not have this problem with Kubuntu 11.04 or previous

I note I'm configured for static IP on a private LAN, with a virtual bridge for a qemu/Windows7 virtual machine. See following:

Re: 11.10 resolv.conf

Network manager attempts to handle routes and nameservers by itself, thus the removal of data from resolv.conf

If this is a desktop with a fixed connection, I recommend removing network manager and manually configuring your network.
