NetworkManager is sometimes wonky as far as dns is concerned, When I get issues where I can't get DNS etc. with it I stop NetworkManager and configure either by hand or using the gui tool. This works but sometimes requires a reboot. Agreed NetworkManager needswork(tm) but still shows great promise especially where wireless connections are concerned. Bests JS
