wow, didn't intend to attach that many documents (never used apport-collect before)

However my problem is as described. Here are some more hints that might be useful:

What I did:
1. Click the NM-Icon in the task bar (Im using knetworkmanager applet)
2. Click the wireless connection in question
3. Choose tab IP address
4. Choose DHCP addresses only
5. Add an DNS entry to the DNS field
6. Click Ok and then Apply
==> If you monitor the connection file (in kde that is .kde/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/{uuid}, see attachment) you'll find that gui really seems to write these changes to te file. However they do not seem to be applied. After reconnecting the applet shows that it is using the address transmitted by the dhcp-server (i.e. my local routing device, so the dns show is 192.168.1.1).
As this is really slow (a query takes more than 10 secs) i can be quit sure that this really is the server which is used for queries. (and a "host -v bugs.launchpad.net" on the command line confirms that suggestion)
