I'm having "fun" with a Pi 2 when it is using WiFi rather than Ethernet.


On Ethernet, it appears to boot up, and pick up the time server OK, but 
on WiFi, it doesn't.  Doing some digging around on line, the suggestions 
seem to centre on making sure that the /etc/resolv.conf file has name 
servers in it.

I've edited the file to put in a number of entries (cut and paste from a 
Pi B+), and the Pi 2 picks up the time server, and away we go.  As soon 
as I reboot, we are back to the same problem.  It seems that either the 
shutdown or the boot operation empties the file and puts :

# Generated by resolvconf

in the file instead, which is starting to get annoying.

Strangely, the Pi 2 has a /etc/resolv.conf and a /etc/resolvconf.conf 
file, whereas the B+ only has the former.  Should I get rid of the 
latter file ?

Both machines are running raspbian.

Adrian
