I don't think it is a kernel issue.

Check 
ls -al /etc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jul  5
17:50 /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf

some times it is created as local file. IF so remove/move it in tmp and run 

dhclient <interface>

The network manager (or wicd) should do this for you anyway.
