In that case, figure out what this 'resolvconf' program is and why it
keeps overwriting your resolv.conf file. I have no idea what that
program is and have never used it. I guess if you uninstall that
program then nothing will prevent you from manually editing
/etc/resolv.conf. (I have always used dhcp or manually edited the
file)
