Public bug reported:

Hardy on T61p Thinkpad.

When I connect to a new wireless network, I receive an IP address
through DHCP but don't receive any DNS IP addresses. I can manually edit
/etc/resolv.conf to add the DNS IP address(es) but that's very
irritating and it should pick up this information automatically.

When I manually run 'sudo dhclient' from the command line, I get:

When I run 'route', I get (though it changes when I re-run it):
