Bug #134886 is still there since fedora core 3 times. It means that
NetworkManager will happily shutdown the interfaces, ignore any
settings you've put in anaconda and wipe out /etc/resolv.conf if you
happen not to use dhcp. Like in a lab, where desktops and servers
tend not to wander around so much and dhcp is used only for laptops.
It seems to me that wiping out resolv.conf is the worst part. It
destroys the static configuration. I think the DHCP client should not
overwrite the existing /etc/resolv.conf but move it to a backup. And
restore the previous version when it stops.
