I noticed the network info displayed by NetworkManager was very
different. The thing I really noticed was the quotes around the
nameserver address in 8.10 and not 8.04.1
I was able to fix the problem by adding this to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
# Added by Jerry
#supersede netmask 255.255.255.0
#supersede broadcast 255.255.255.255
supersede nameserver 192.168.2.1
# end Added by Jerry
After trial and error and numerous reboots I found the only thing needed
was the nameserver option. I do not know if the problem is with
dhclient or NetworkManager. I read through several problems in the
forum with 8.10 networking that might be the same as this.
