Yes. this is what I read elsewhere on the net. However it turns out that
for whatever reason (maybe combination of tasksel packages?) I had
connman and NetworkManager installed.

The hint for me was that my /etc/resolv.conf contains "# Generated by
Connection Manager". This is a totally different program. Which I
removed and set the /etc/resolv.conf link to point to
/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and installed resolvconf. I also set up my
config files as Andreas suggested:

andi@zeus:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown
dns=dnsmasq

[ifupdown]
managed=false
andi@zeus:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

-------------

The only thing I was missing was "dns=dnsmasq".

This still did not work. So after learning about connman, I decided to
try that. I removed NetworkManager and reinstalled connman and the
"systray" app cmst "just worked". I cringe at that phrase. Sorry if it
disturbs you too. LOL

So I think I may never get to experience NetworkManager, but this is
fine for now.

Best regards and thanks for all the advice,

Simon
