Yep, that's pretty much the problem, and since my router always
returns invalid DNS information, I have to hand edit resolv.conf every
time I log in.  I can set static DNS in the router's config but it
still returns invalid information to the DHCP clients.

> chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

I tried this but then nm-applet sits there spinning for as long as I'm
logged in.  Workable, but annoying.
