Ryan: please file a *separate* bug about the issues you're seeing, preferably attaching /etc/resolv.conf, /run/resolvconf/interfaces/NetworkManager, and /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf when you have dns=dnsmasq enabled. That way we'll be able to fix the issue, but without a bug report there is very little we can do. If it's something funky that Comcast does, then the fastest there is a bug with sufficient information the fastest they can be contacted to fix their DNS servers if they are broken.
Michael: this is expected behavior. Interfaces configured manually in /etc/network/interfaces are ignored by NetworkManager. If it's your only interface, then yes, the applet might not show. Please, *please* file a bug for the particular issues you're seeing; attach all the information we might need and then we'll be able to fix the issues. sladner84: if you were able to fix your issues by changing the channel or wifi speeds or whatnot; then this has nothing to do with dns resolution by itself. It's a kernel bug. Please confirm what's going on, there's no indication of anything wrong in the syslog excerpt that is now attached on this bug report.
