This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5
---------------
network-manager (0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5) quantal; urgency=low
* debian/network-manager.upstart: add "and static-network-up" to ensure the
loopback device is really up before we start dnsmasq. (LP: #993379)
* debian/patches/git_kernel_ipv6_default_route_77de91e.patch: avoid fighting
with the kernel for what IPv6 default route should be set: let the kernel
set his own, then add a new route with a different metric so that we can
go back and remove it later. (LP: #988183)
* debian/patches/nm-ip6-rs.patch: avoid disconnections due to RDNSS expiry,
send a Router Sollicit to try and get new RDNSS data. (LP: #993571)
* debian/patches/git_remove_ifpppstatsreq_6b64e4d.patch: remove the use of
the ifpppstatsreq struct, which has been dropped in newer kernels: use
ifreq and ppp_stats separately instead.

Title:
Network Manager starts before the loopback device is ready, leading to
dnsmasq not listening on any interface, breaking DNS resolution

Bug description:
It's been reported by users on IRC that network-manager in some cases spawns
a dnsmasq process that doesn't listen on anything.
This only happens at boot time and disappears after reconnecting.
The problem was tracked down to network-manager.conf triggering before
the loopback interface is ready.
Adding "and static-network-up" to the start condition ensures that
/etc/network/interfaces was parsed and all interfaces in there have
been ifup'ed, fixing the race.
