Description Daniele Tamino 2007-07-10 21:48:33 UTC

When connecting via DHCP, NetworkManager completely ignores the hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostname and sets it to something like DHCP-X-Y, which is bad and causes other problems, as other programs expects the hostname to be different.

With a little debugging effort I've found the bug, and I'll attach a patch.

Reproducible: Always

Patch that fixes the problem (or at least, works for me)

It's just that in NetworkManagerGentoo.c, the variable sys_data->config is initialized after being used, or not initialized at all, so reading the hostname from the config file and putting it into the config hash table fails.
This patch seems to fix it.
