I have done a new installation with Linux Mint Maya (MATE-32 bit) and again I have the same issue (no /etc/resolv.conf created). This time, it is a brand new installation. No Updates installed, no VPN software added. Running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" fixes the issue (I have "yes" to both questions that appear) Let me know if you want me to perform other tests (I'll try to answer sooner) and thanks for your work.
