Beware - It seems that the first time you use NetworkManager it destroys the contents of you resolv.conf (built at install time). It also seems that it doesn't make a backup copy first.
NM is really designed for machines that change networks frequently. It will take nameservers from the DCHP server if they are provided. IMO, it works best if you run your own caching nameserver.
You could make a case that the lack of backup is a bug. File in bugzilla and see what the developers think.
Thanks, Gene Poole
