Hi,

I'd like to add some options in my /etc/resolv.conf, currently managed by
network-manager (btw the header is wrong, it says:

# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager

While there is no NetworkManager in /usr/bin (it's in /usr/sbin)

The option I added is:

prepend domain-search "corsac.net";

But it does *not* appear in the final resolv.conf.

n-m should respect options from dhclient.conf (I guess it uses dhclient) or at
least provide a way to add options.

Cheers,

  Hi,

  I just saw your bug report. Did you try to install the resolvconf
package ? It seems to me a better solution than asking each program
that can manage /etc/resolv.conf to do the same work with the same
workarounds...

  Regards,
    Vincent

Hmh ok. Installing resolvconf fixes the problem. Cheers,

Hi,

I think this issue is solved, but to close the bug it'd be nice if that
solution could be presented to the user, for example by adding
resolvconf to Suggests: and adding a note in README.Debian.

Along the same line, network-manager has a hard-wired DHCP timeout in
src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c (currently 45 seconds) which overrides
whatever entry set in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
