wireless glitch

[Tim Folger <tfolger@intergate.com>]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to Linux and have installed debian woody release 2 on my 
notebook. Just about everything works now except for one annoying 
glitch. I connect to the internet using an orinoco gold wireless pcmcia 
card and a wireless router that acts as a dhcp server. To connect to the 
internet I have to enter two lines of dns numbers from my isp in 
/etc/resolv.conf, but every time I reboot--or sometimes even during the 
same session--I need to reenter the dns numbers in /etc/resolve.conf 
because the settings are somehow being automatically overwritten. I 
can't connect to the internet without reentering the dns numbers, which 
gets tedious. This is about the only thing preventing me from using 
debian full-time. I've used nano, gedit and bluefish to edit the file 
after switching to root, all to no avail.

Here's what the /etc/resolv.conf  file looks like before editing:

search
nameserver 10.0.1.1

I add these two lines with nano in a root terminal in a root kde session 
(also tried in root terminal as normal user):
nameserver 216.139.64.16
nameserver 216.139.64.17

After saving the file I'm able to connect to the internet, but after a 
short while  those two added lines just disappear and I'm left with the 
original /etc/resolv.conf file and I can't connect to the internet 
unless I reenter the two dns lines.

I wish I could solve this because it's preventing me from using debian 
full-time.

Thanks,

Tim
