Bug Description

When setting the DNS servers for a DHCP based wifi network. These settings never make it into resolve.conf, every time the DHCP updates it kills the manual changes I have to put in the resolv.conf. All day I have to edit and insert manual settings to keep the internet working.

Right click on network manager applet > Edit Connections... > Wireless (tab) > MyWifi Network > Edit > IPv4 Settings
Method set to: Automatic (DHCP) address only
DNS Settings text box filled in
Clicked OK.

Problem: resolv.conf not updated
Also: resolve.conf reset after dhcp renew.
