Summary	0003614: network manager fails to resolve DNS, crashes when I try to switch wifis
Description	after upgrading to the bleeding edge repo, when I boot into kali, i'm connected to my wifi, and can ping 8.8.8.8 but can't ping any URLs and can't visit any websites in the browser. When I go to switch to another wifi in network manager, as soon as I try to connect, the proxy screen flashes for a second, then the window closes and it reconnects to the wifi it was already connected to. If I tell it to forget that connection, then ask it to connect to the second essid, it crashes, then connects to the essid I asked it to, but there too I have no DNS.
Additional Information	As per another step's resolution I tried updating gnome's control panel to 3.21.92-2. There were so many dependencies that trying to install it without internet access was impossible.
