This file had last been written on boot a few minutes before finding WAN was
inaccessible normally. It had only one entry, domain <domainname>. Yesterday
it was working, on an HTTP install via eth0 that was fresh the day before.
The NIC is set so eth0 is only started if on cable connection. Normal
connection is on wlan0, which was working when added after installation
yesterday, and is working as long as I stick to using only IP addresses.

I have wlan0 configured for a fixed IP. In YaST2 when I goto the Hostname/DNS
tab for wlan0, I'm not allowed to set name servers unless I uncheck the box
"update DNS data via DHCP". It is supposed to be this way? Why can't it
permit the router, which is a DHCP server, to supply/update the DNS info? Can
the DNS and default route be made to automatically change if the ethernet
cable is plugged in?

I unchecked the box and input the router IP and a couple of alternates for
DNS, and now I have normal internet access, but I wonder about down the road
when I plug in the ethernet cable while the default wireless connection is
unavailable if anything will work at all without futzing with YaST2?
