Are you using DHCP? If so, then every time you bring up the interface
your resolv.conf will be overwritten. That is because in normal DHCP
setups, the DHCP server knows what nameserver you are supposed to be
using, so your system listens to it and acts accordingly.
I don't have a "normal" DHCP setup (one NIC used DHCP but I wanted to
use my own nameserver anyways), so what I did was apply this patch to
/etc/dhclient-script :

Of course, to do that requires you to use the 'dhcp-client' package
(not 'dhcpcd' or 'pump').
