Bug Description
Hello. The network configuration tools are GREAT, thanks
for working in them! That being said, I have a bug to report.
Starting with network settings open, and an
interface (any interface) set to DHCP, and with
the "DNS Servers" and "Search Domains" boxes empty
in the DNS tab.When I activate the interface, and
aquire an address from dhcp /etc/resolv.conf is written
correctly. When I click OK to close network settings,
the contents of /etc/resolv.conf are replaced with
whatever is in the DNS tab (in this case nothing).
This is highly counter intuitive, DNS settings should
be taken from the environment whenever possible. It should
not be necessary to manually specify the search domain, and
dns server when changing networks, especially when DHCP is
handing the information out.
