For networks where this is required (like yours) we should probably have an 'opt-in' method. Perhaps the easy way to start is by adding another setting to the network IPv4 settings. Maybe a boolean setting named 'SendHostname' under the 'DHCPv4' group. > I have written and extremely simple, PoC patch which calls > gethostname > and pass the returned string to the ell dhcp client. > > What are your thoughts about this feature? This looks fine, but needs to check the 'opt-in' setting as discussed above.
