Uwe Brauer,

The resolvconf will have a problem ... it'll be system wide.
You won't be able to have different DNS for different connection, for exemple 
at home and at work.

In your cas you should set in your connection setting in NM.
But the TDE-NM is not the most complete, there is only one field to set DNS 
servers. Also, you can try to use the ncurses NM tool "nmtui" where you will 
be able to get two DNS field. I never had to use it in my case but it should 
be OK for you.

Bye.
