Hi, my problem seems to be related to this bug:
I use a static wired connection over eth0 with "hand written" entries in etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf. network-manager was only installed due to sucrose (the OLPC desktop) depending on it. After updating a lot of dependencies (amongst them network-manager to the version 0.8.4.0-1 from /testing), my Internet connection was lost. After starting another Computer and googling around and testing and ... I found that the problem was a missing DNS nameserver and finally that network-manager overwrote my manually configured /etc/resolv.conf file without warning with an (except for a comment) empty file. Restoring the backup file and restarting the OS did not help - the file was overwritten again. Does network-manager expect the "resolveconf" program/package to be installed? If so, should it depend on it? Could network-manager please handle /etc/resolv.conf as a configuration file: check if it is modified by the sysadmin and do not overwrite in this case without feedback?
