Upgrading from Kubuntu 14.10 to 15.10 - can't access my work's WiFi

So, after the torturous upgrade from Kubuntu 14.10 to 15.10, I at least got to the point where I could start plasma (but only in intel mode, not nvidia).  But, when I got to work, I discovered I couldn't access my company's guest network (WPA2 personal authentication).  I could connect, but DNS failed.  I saw this error in the log:

blah blah NetworkManager /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

I'm not sure how this broke during the upgrade, but simply reconfiguring the resolvconf did the trick:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

Another reboot and I'm back in action.  Whew!
