[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#532053: resolvconf symlink is overwritten when using a GSM connection

[Pedro Bulach Gapski]

I observe a somewhat similar behavior on my box running squeeze with
nm 0.7.1 + nm-gnome.

I have resolvconf installed and configured to manage the /etc/resolv.conf file.

If I stick to my wifi connection, the behavior I observe is the
expected one: the symlink is maintained and filled with the dhcp
nameserver info.

However, when I use a GSM modem, upon connection the resolv.conf link
has been removed and an empty file has been written by nm instead. The
GSM connection is established, but no nameserver information has been
put on the resolv.conf file. A quick look at the logs show that the
nameserver info has been received by pppd. Usually I reconfigure
resolvconf to recreate the link afterwards.

On the other hand, I see no such problem when using wvdial or pon/poff
to access the 3G network.

Please let me know if further info is required.

Regards,

Pedro
