Right, eventually we may fix this through system config, but the
solution right now is to fix your router?  Do you have to manually set
the DNS server for _every_ machine on your network?  Doesn't the router
farm out the DNS server address of your ISP that you've configured the
router with?

Or, install NetworkManagerDispatcher and have it run the script
automatically...
