Just an update here, after opening/closing resolv.conf and rebooting efw dnsmasq is able to read the file (no error messages) but the connection to the net still fails. I am lost as to WHY ? efw is not able to establish a connection over etho (red link) despite that the network status shows for ALL interfaces OK.
Anyone out there who could shed some light ?
