Description Mikel Ward 2008-04-15 03:02:55 UTC 
I have a wireless and a wired network available.

Since upgrading to F9, my resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten with the DHCP
settings from my wireless network, despite me being constantly connected to a
wired network.

This breaks all my DNS settings.  It seems to happen every hour or so (i.e. at
least a few times a day).
Comment 1 Mikel Ward 2008-04-15 05:18:11 UTC 
I'm not entirely sure this is happening.  Please disregard it until I can
provide more proof.
Comment 2 Mikel Ward 2008-04-15 14:01:50 UTC 
I had a similar thing happen just now.  I'm only connected to the wireless at
the moment, but I had modified my resolv.conf manually.  Obviously this is
expected behavior with only one network connection, but if it's happening when
two networks are available, it's going to cause problems.

Comment 3 Dan Williams 2008-04-15 16:24:02 UTC 
Is your wired device managed by NetworkManager?  What's the output of
/usr/bin/nm-tool when this happens?
Comment 4 Mikel Ward 2008-04-16 04:45:34 UTC 
Logs show it's renewing the lease on both, and the wlan0 update is touching
/etc/resolv.conf, but /etc/resolv.conf is correctly keeping the nameserver
details from eth0.  I assume it concatenates the search domains for both
interfaces or something like that, but retains the nameservers for the highest
priority interface, which seems like the right thing to do.

Sorry for taking up your time.
