when using wifi, have to change back to 127.0.0.1


Does anyone know how to make this change in resolv.conf automatically when switching from wireless to an ipv6 connection? I don't know anything about Linux scripting.
You should not need to edit /etc/resolv.conf. Using 127.0.0.1 means use the local program "dnsmasq". dnsmasq gets the nameserver to query from /var/run/resolv.conf.gprs (among other files named resolv.conf* in /var/run). My libicd-network-3g-ipv6 package creates this file when you connect.

Are you using libicd-network-3g-ipv6? What happens when you use 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf and you're on ipv6?

edit: it just occured to me that you could be using meego instead of maemo. If that's the case, then disregard this message.
