Comment 29 for bug 324233

natty and kubuntu, no resolvconf

Network Manager broke nameserving when I used it to change the host's ipaddress

In order to configure a couple of access points I needed to change host's net address to 192.168.2.x for a while
and then revert to the a static ipaddress instead of the dhcp configured at system installation.

When the host was back on the local network I could ping the gateway but the browser could not find a namesever

 I eventually discovered that /etc/resolv.conf had been updated and now contained only

"# Generated by NetworkManager"

Manually adding "nameserver <gateway-address>" to /etc/resolv.conf restored nameserving
