Let's place the information how to setup the custom netconfig policy
here:
When the connection is configured using the NetworkManager, a ppp plugin
provides the DNS settings to the NetworkManager and netconfig writes the
settings to the files (/etc/resolv.conf).
While NETWORKMANAGER=yes, the DNS settings from connections that are _not_
configured using the NetworkManager, are discarded in the netconfig "auto"
DNS policy, because it resolves to ”STATIC_FALLBACK NetworkManager”.
_But_ the ppp (ip-up) scripts still provide the DNS settings to netconfig,
that writes them to a file in e.g.
/var/run/netconfig/ppp0
^^^^
and is generally able to use them.
Note: ppp0 is just example -- it may be also e.g. modem0 or dsl0
(check using "ls -1 /var/run/netconfig/*" while the connection is up)
How to change this behavior:
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config (use yast2 sysconfig editor) and
change the policy from "auto" to a custom one:
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=”STATIC_FALLBACK ppp0 NetworkManager”
or (accept settings from all ppp, modem, dsl interfaces)
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=”STATIC_FALLBACK ppp* modem* dsl* NetworkManager”
or (accept settings from all interfaces)
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=”STATIC_FALLBACK * NetworkManager”
See also "man 8 netconfig".
