Hi Samuel,


NetworkManager does not write to /run/resolv.conf. This is probably
written by pppd.

When you run pppd yourself (without using the wwan plugin of
NetworkManager), you have to care for resolv.conf yourself.


For example, disable NetworkManager writing /etc/resolv.conf
via

  [main]
  dns=none

in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. After that, there is
nothing wrong with symlinking /etc/resolv.conf -> /run/resolv.conf, if
that is what you want.
(Sidenote: on newer version 1.2, NM would respect your symlink, and you
would not need to disable it via configuration).


A bit more tricky is, to combine the DNS information from pppd and
NetworkManager. Maybe you could use a dispatcher script for that...


Alternatively, let NetworkManager manage the GSM connection via the
wwan plugin.


Good luck,
Thomas
