Comment 17 for bug 382161

Using Jaunty or Karmic, this bug is not fixed. First, the NM dialog is very unhelpful in setting up static DNS settings. For instance, my wired connection is eth1 and it says "Auto eth1" on the NM applet. The problem is that I can't edit this connection. I make a new connection called "Main" and set it to connect automatically and only use eth1. How do you stop "Auto eth1" from connecting instead of "Main?"

Setting "Main" with DHCP with static DNS does not edit resolv.conf. A reboot didn't help since NM selects "Auto eth1" instead of main. The NM applet needs a better front end, that's probably what a majority of these bugs are coming from.
