I've had this problem before where Ubuntu keeps changing resolv.conf and it
can get quite irritating -- not sure if this was the most elegant solution,
but I would do:
$sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf  (this makes the file 'immutable' and thus
network-manager can't automatically change it.. )

hth,
Sanjay
