If I loose access to a wireless network and then regain it, typically as I have 
moved to part of the house where the signal is weak all that seems to happen is 
that the "dns" entry from nsswitch.conf is removed. I get no pop up saying the 
interface is down just these errors in the messages file: 

Dec 22 12:51:05 principia mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: ipw0 link down

ipw0 to 192.168.1.155 restored

The message about the interface being turned off is a lie, unless the hardware 
is some how doing this on it's own.

Is there anyway to get nwam to put the dns entry back?  I'm running snv79 and 
have seen this since nwam was putback.
