[Bug 357518] [NEW] udhcpc doesn't set hostname in doscover packet

[Tom Metro]

Public bug reported:

When invoking udhcpc (0.9.8cvs20050303-2 on Ubuntu 8.04) via
/etc/network/interfaces, it appears as if it does not send the host name
in the discover packet, as occurs with dhcp3-client and dhcpcd.

I haven't confirmed this with a packet sniffer, but my DHCP server
behaved as if this was the case (it assigned a dynamic IP address rather
than matching a rule to assign a static address based on the supplied
host name). Modifying /etc/network/interfaces to include a hostname
argument appeared to resolve the problem.

(I ran across this while developing a work around for Bug #351378.)
