[kwlug-disc] 2008 iMac wifi resolving issues / Xubuntu

[CrankyOldBugger]

I'm going to assume that either your or Network Manager set up the
/etc/resolv.conf file, so my next guess would be that you need the
wpa_supplicant set up? (I had problems with that file before....)

I might be sending you down the wrong rabbit-hole but it might be worth
checking..
