But it did it just before the last update: it created DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf from my /etc/conf.d/net file on every reboot. And now it "cannot do this magic"? > You need to create static nameserver entries because you use a static > (i.e. no dhcp) configuration. Add them to /etc/resolvconf.conf It does not help as /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten on every reboot. > If it still gets removed across restarts Yes, it does. > then you have some local modification going on that does deletions Yes, it does. > you don't know about.
