Just as a short reminder, there are more DNS-resolver/server available as 
packages out there than just bind and dnsmasq, i.e. djbdns and it's derivates. 
Until I removed the annoying dns=dnsmasq line in /e/N/Nconf, NM disconnected 
the WLAN after a couple of minutes, throwing an error about dnsmasq not able to 
bind to 127.0.0.1.
I'm  puzzled about the default inclusion of dnsmasq as a local resolver for 
standard users. If a connection is to be shared, it might be useful to bind 
dnsmasq to the shared iface to provide DHCP and DNS, like it's done with 
libvirt-bin.
