NM 0.7 Debian Lenny - strangest issue... (Update)

[Daniel Caleb <shamanicvision gmail com>]

So, it's solved... well, sort of. Maybe this is a known issue, I was 
reading about alot of problems with resolvconf. Basically, today at work 
using a wired connection I was able to reproduce the issue below. Being 
able to connect, get an IP, and even use the IP but completely unable to 
resolve any IP to name. I found I was able to connect flawlessly to 
websites using their specific IP and not the Domain Name. So, that 
pretty much narrows down the problem to a resolving issue with the DNS.

Bottomline, I uninstalled resolvconf - maybe not the most elegant 
solution... but nm 0.7 works fine now. I don't know how long I'll be 
able to leave it like this, but at least the problem is located.

Are there any ideas or workarounds for this situation?

Thanks
Daniel
