Normally DHCP supplies the nameserver info. If you are not getting your
IP address from DHCP, then you do have to manually set it up. If you
are running NetworkManager, then configure the DNS server(s) in
NetworkManager. If you have a NetworkManager GUI, you can use that,
otherwise use the CLI (nmcli).

"nmcli connection show --active" will show you your active connections.
If the connection you want to add DNS info to is (say) "MyEth0", you
can get everything NetworkManager has configured for the connection
with "nmcli connection show MyEth0". And you can tell it to use
particular DNS servers with this:

  nmcli connection modify MyEth0 +ipv4.dns 192.168.1.1

"man nmcli" for more info.

BUT: If you are expecting this device to get its nameserver info from
DHCP, debug that. Find out why that isn't working.
