browser problems

[Dan Ziolkowski]

I did more work on this, first it is not related to an old version of
Firefox, as the same problem occurs in Galean and Epiphany browsers.

It seems to be a DNS setting issue. When you open the "Network settings",
the DNS is shown as 192.168.0.1, which is my router. If you change the DNS
to 208.67.222.222 (which is Open DNS, and is what my router is set for) the
problem goes away.

However, I can only save this setting under ETH0, it won't save under WLAN,
(actually is appears to be saved, but reverts back to the 192.168.0.1 when
you reopen Network settings.)

It will save if you are in ETH0, and is still there when you reopen Network
settings, but then when you switch to WLAN, it reverts back to 192.168.0.1.

So why won't this work for WLAN?
