Thanks for the tip. I did indeed have a dhclient.conf with some custom
supercedes for resolv.conf so I moved away the whole config file but it
still displayes the same symptoms (pasted at end). I am also pasting the
output of nm-applet which I ran in the foreground.

I suspect there may be some odd Ubuntu'ism that I am getting caught on,
I have a Fedora 6 machine to test on as well but I will upgrade that to
F8 before doing NetworkManager testing on it.

Thanks, Fred.
