DNS needs to be manually set on Origen Android image when using WiFi

[Botao]

On 12.06 RC1 build and several previous builds, the DNS server address needs to be manually set on Samsung Origen Linaro Android image when using WiFi to connect to Internet.

12.06 RC1 build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/origen-ics-gcc47-samsunglt-stable-blob-12.06-release/#build=1

Test result for this in previous builds (Row 45):

https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadDRDVl9TSHUweUk3eG9ndk9sNGxUVnc#gid=2

Command to set DNS (Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to your DNS server IP address):

setprop net.dns1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The USB Ethernet adapter works well on this, the DNS can be set automatically. Also, in special Samsung Origen Google Hangout build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/origen-hangout-demo-12.05-release/#build=1

The DNS works well on both WiFi & USB Ethernet adapter mode.

The problematic commit is :

The networkattributes were modified in the overlay where wifi was removed which results in ConnectivityService does not instantiate a WifiStateTracker which breaks the communication between WifiService and ConnectivityService as a result the underlying wifi Status don't get reflected in the ConnectivityManager status .

dns is set properly for origen on the build below. Once you turn on wifi-> go to menu -> Advanced -> Deselect "Avoid Poor Connections" :
