DNS issue solved

[Joe Zeff]

Earlier, when I posted resolv.conf, I spotted what might be a problem: 
Network Manager was active, even though I'd turned it off long ago. 
Using the GUI tool, I turned it off again.  This morning's updates 
included some kmod-nvidia stuff and later I found that one of my games 
(Plants vs Zombies, under Wine) wasn't loading, so I tried logging out 
and back in.  Alas, X wouldn't start, forcing a reboot.  (Only a little 
under 4 days of uptime, so no great loss.)  Everything came up properly, 
I have DNS without playing games and Network Manager didn't activate. 
Now, the only question remaining is, what turned it back on in the first 
place, and that's not exactly urgent.
