Bug Description

I still have not found the conditions under which this bugs happens. Sometimes I end up with an empty resolv.conf. Maybe it is connected with this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306469) bug.

can you come up with a way to reproduce this? when is the resolv.conf empty? Are you connected through NM if its empty or using ifupdown or even something else?

I think my provider's DHCP server may be causing this. It often happens when I replug network cable to another computer and back. As the NM defaults to 'auto' connection it tries to reget the address, the DHCP server goes crazy (MAC address is changed twice) and returns crap instead of proper configuration. I will mark this bug as invalid for now.
