The readme is wrong...

So yes, we do honor distro-specific static IP config files, _except_ for DNS 
entries in resolv.conf, mainly because nobody has figured it out yet.  We need 
to know which file NM should copy the DNS info from (on Fedora, where does the 
information entered into the DNS tab of system-config-network get stored, and 
how do you change it for multiple profiles?).
