NetworkManager is sometimes wonky as far as dns is concerned, When I
get issues where I can't get DNS etc. with it I stop NetworkManager
and configure either by hand or using the gui tool. This works but
sometimes requires a reboot. Agreed NetworkManager needswork(tm) but
still shows great promise especially where wireless connections are
concerned.
