Hello,
This is my first time submitting a patch/feature request over email, I
hope I do not mess up :)
We prefer git send-email, similar to how kernel patches are submitted. See
HACKING document for more details.
First of all, thank you for your work on iwd, I have recently started
to use it on my laptop and seems to be working very well.
I have, however, noticed that when using the built-in IP management, my
hostname was not being sent to the DHCP server. This is unfortunate
since it breaks my home network, which uses dnsmasq to build dns
records on-the-fly for hosts.
Right. We chose not to send the hostname in order to comply with RFC 7844 [1].
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.
