bad resolv.conf DNS when connecting G3 modem (iplus - polish/PL ISP)

[LimCore]

ubuntu 8.10 amd64
G3 modem Huawei E169
Polish (PL) network provider iPlus

When modem connects (using nm-applet) then the /etc/resolv.conf is set to black hole IPs:

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 10.11.12.13
nameserver 10.11.12.14

The DNS that work for this provider (I took it from some web forum google) are:

nameserver 212.2.96.54
nameserver 212.2.96.55

(best verify it officially, if it has to be hardcoded... or perhaps just the auto-detection code is not working well or something?)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release the Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Freshly installed Karmic RC and the problem is still there (more or less).

Huawei E220 HDSPA-modem with Swedish Telia as a provider. The connection establishes just fine, but the /etc/resolv.conf remains blank, except

"# Generated by NetworkManager"

Setting the nameservers manually in said file solves the problem. The same setup works just fine in 9.04

packages installed:
network-manager 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1
network-manager-gnome 0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1

What more information do you need?

Yes, so the problem is on 8.10 but it is fixed in 9.04.
Perhaps someone should just backport the solution to 8.10
