(I don't remember now what the trouble was.) Normally networking Just Works under Linux, without resolvconf. You just do /etc/init.d/networking restart and up it goes. Things are a little trickier when you're using static IP, but not much. And they get maybe annoyingly tricky when you do wireless, but not much -- and certainly they don't get annoying because of resolv.conf messiness. I'm curious how you got into the spot you're in, where resolv.conf isn't working. -- Stephen R.
