Description of problem: NetworkManager gives a facility to enter custom dns now - which is great, but it actually uses dns given by dhcp server (don't know why). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest from Fedora 9 updates How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a new wifi profile 2. set static IP, ie. 192.168.0.100, netmask 255.255.255.0, gate 192.168.0.250 3. set custom dns to 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 4. connect to the network 5. check connection information Actual results: Static IP - fine, works (finally!) Custom DNS - primary is set to 192.168.0.250 (!), secondary is set to 208.67.222.222 - why?? Expected results: DNS should be set to my custom dns.
The current behavior is to append your custom servers to the list the DHCP server returns; already in upstream SVN there's an option to ignore what the DHCP server returns and only use the specified values. That should hit F9 in an update quite soon.
Something more: networkmanager appends the custom information of *all* the known connections. It's true for the nameservers list and for the 'search domain' list.
Should be working in latest NM updates (svn4022 and later). Please reopen if it's not. Thanks!
