I've got the same problem.  I tried some recommended work-around like adding
this line to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

prepend domain-name-servers <dns-server-ip-addr-1> <addr-2>

However,

sudo service network-manager restart 
just wipes out the contents of /etc/resolv.conf.  No go.  

Is apt-get remove --purge network-manager the recommended work-around?

I'd hate to think there are Ubuntu 11.10 dependencies on this GUI-oriented 
application - but since it ignores existing system configuration files - and since 
it overwrites any direct edits of those files ... things are getting scary.  

Would switching to Ubuntu server be best for user-controlled desktops?
I'm reticent to put Network-Manager in charge.  Network-manager SUCKS!
