Ah, so it's a landline modem. These are not supported in NM. The main reason is
that these modems can't be automatically detected. Most of these are softmodems
requiring closed source binaries and being a dying technology doesn't help
either.
So we're back to your original bug report. :) The reason why wvdial can't
update your /etc/resolv.conf is that the script (netconfig) that modifies that
file refuses to do so when NM is used for networking. There have been other
similar bugs and the resolution has been "works as designed". If NM doesn't
provide the functionality you require and "traditional method" does, then
there's no other way than to use the method that works. Mixing the two does not
work.
