Much to my surprise, I found this:
# Generated by NetworkManager
search midcoip.net
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 2001:48f8:3004:2ce:5a19:f8ff:fe9e:a4bc

I doubt it's the source of my problems,
but the second line looks like something midco did to me somehow.
I have noticed a midco search when I wasn't expecting one.
My problems predate midco.

Something I just remembered because I saw it again:
When I start chromium,
I keep getting pop-ups to enter the password to unlock my login keyring.
Me no have keyring, except the metal things in my pockets.

Infected Chromium apps are all over the place now.  They auto-install and make
themselves preferred browsers that auto-start after reboots.

Very bad.

Cheers, Bee

Sounds like you need to go through your packages and uninstall everything not
essential!!!

I expect that that is in the box with midco's router.
Do not know about the ipv6 address.
I was about to show to what I had changed resolv.conf,
but something changed it back.  Grrrr.
I know I didn't just forget to save it:
I tested it with nslookup:

Here is the current resolv.conf:

When I point elinks at 192.168.0.1
I get http://192.168.0.1/login.php above a big blank window.
