Fwd: Passing DNS from resolv.conf

["Charles Lee" <charles lee gmail com>]

Just found this link with some googling. I'm not a programmer, so if
someone can verify this works and write a quick how-to, it would be
really appreciated.

OK, so you mean CVS HEAD.

I'm not aware of a suspend2ram bug in network-manager, but perhaps i'm
not up-to-date.

A: I read somewhere that in order for NM (I think it was referring to
the current version in Ubuntu) to come back up after suspending to
ram, one has to disable wireless and network beforehand. I don't have
this problem with 0.7.0, however.

My last nm from debian sid still ignores this interfaces. Do
you have a link for the ubuntu patch which makes it able to use
static ip?

A: It really was just a hear-say. I got this information from someone
else and have not tested it myself. Therefore I don't have a link.
Apologies if I made myself sound knowing more than I really do.

Cheers,

Charlie
