Since your last mail, there have been a number of updates to various
pieces that should fix most of your issues.  Anaconda (the installer)
will now write the correct DNS tags in the ifcfg files, and NM will pick
those up and set up /etc/resolv.conf correctly.  I think that was the
largest of the issues.

You should probably update your machines to the latest F9 package set,
since there have been quite few fixes since the last beta release.  For
instance, the current F9 NM version is svn3623.
