[Bug 994227] Re: resolvconf breaks name resolution when using madwimax

[Egor]

Okay… now I rebooted, and resolvconf with wlan0 works fine. When I'm at
the area with wimax, I'll test madwimax again.

I didn't find out, why did wlan0.dhclient disappear, after reboot this
error has gone. May be it was some conflict of these many dhclients
somehow launched at the same time…

Title:
  resolvconf breaks name resolution when using madwimax

Status in “madwimax” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While resolvconf daemon is running, I cannot use the network, because
  my resolv.conf file is filled with invalid nameservers soon after
  connection:

  ========================== bash session: ==========================
  # service resolvconf status
  resolvconf start/running
  # file /etc/resolv.conf
  /etc/resolv.conf: symbolic link to `../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf'
  # export LC_ALL=C;\
    date;\
    dhclient wlan0;\
    cat /etc/resolv.conf;\
    date;\
    inotifywait /etc/resolv.conf;\
    date;\
    cat /etc/resolv.conf

  Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
  utility, e.g. service smbd reload

  Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
  Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd

  To clarify servers:
  192.168.129.129 is my ISP DNS
  8.8.8.8 backup server configured in my router
  94.25.128.74… first wimax0 DNS, invalid in my current wlan0 network

  # cat /run/resolvconf/interface/wimax0.dhclient 
  nameserver 94.25.128.74
  nameserver 94.25.208.74
  # ifconfig wimax0
  wimax0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
  # ifdown wimax0
  ifdown: interface wimax0 not configured

  The delay until resolv.conf gets corrupted is not constant at all, sometimes it's as small as 3 seconds. one time is was 13 seconds.
  If I reconnect and shut down resolvconf, I get a working network without any problems. This behavior seems to be a regression after apt-get upgrade from ubuntu 11.10 and seems to be a blocker to an ordinary user, since the network is effectively unusable.
