Some releases of ubuntu have been exceptionally stubborn.
They don't use ifcfg-* scripts, and the docs available on the

In Ubuntu, if you use NM, you have to set the DNS servers through the
NM applet. There's probably an NM xml file that can be edited if you
want to use the CLI - somewhere.
I do wish providing comments in automagically generated
config files like resolve.conf and others was a blocker for
releases. If the generated file doesn't have an accurate
comment describing how to modify the way it was generated,
you shouldn't be able to inflict the release on the world,
but right now opensuse seems to be the only distro I've
seen that provides the comment.
