I have a (wifi) router (adsl modem). I connect with two computers, one a desktop, without NetworkManager, another a laptop, with NetworkManager 0.9.4.0-r6. For both, the hostname is set in /etc/conf.d/hostname, both have stock /etc/dhcpcd.conf and /etc/hosts files (in which the hostname does not appear). The router gets the hostname of the desktop, but not the one of the laptop. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: did not pass the hostname to the router Expected Results: pass the hostname to the router The router log tells me (first line is desktop, second is laptop): 12.01.13 10:09:39 WLAN station registered. Name: <desktop hostname>, IP address: 192.168.178.32, MAC address: <snipped>, throughput: 54 MBit/s. 12.01.13 09:58:03 WLAN station registered. Name: -, IP address: 192.168.178.35, MAC address: <snipped>, throughput: 54 MBit/s. I tried modifying /etc/dhcpcd.conf (adding the hostname or commenting the disabling of hostname-lookup) and /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (adding a hostname line to a new [keyfile] section), both suggestions I found in the forums, but to no avail. I'd prefer a setup where routers can override hostnames if they wish, as the laptop is also used in corporate networks where this is sometimes required. N.B.: My android phone also does not pass its hostname (but I don't it to, I don't think I even set its hostname).

I'm using NetworkManager git master or 0.9.8 (hard masked in gentoo) but should be roughly the same with at least 0.9.6. NetworkManager developers don't use dhcpcd with NetworkManager. I advise anyone to use dhclient instead as it's much better tested or maintain dhcpcd support in NetworkManager himself. With recent NetworkManager and dhclient, this doesn't happen to me. > I tried modifying /etc/dhcpcd.conf (adding the hostname or commenting the > disabling of hostname-lookup) I don't even know whether /etc/dhcpcd.conf is honored or not when running from NetworkManager. > and /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf > (adding a hostname line to a new [keyfile] section), both suggestions I > found in the forums, but to no avail. You can always use the upstream bugzilla. Link to the ebuild source online so that they can check that the problem is not in gentoo patches. But collaboration between Gentoo and NM upstream works pretty well. > I'd prefer a setup where routers can override hostnames if they wish, as the > laptop is also used in corporate networks where this is sometimes required. I don't remember exactly how this is done. Posting to NetworkManager mailing list should get you a rather quick reply. > N.B.: My android phone also does not pass its hostname (but I don't it to, I > don't think I even set its hostname).
What is the status of this with 0.9.8.2? Does it still fail with dhcpcd?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #2) > What is the status of this with 0.9.8.2? Does it still fail with dhcpcd? I'm on 0.9.6.2, as 0.9.8.2 is not stable yet (masked even). On 0.9.6.2 the problem persists. Do you wish me to test 0.9.8.2? (What are the incantations to backup my current NM, so that I cant revert without a network if 0.9.8.2 gives me problems?)
I unmasked it some hours ago, you can of course backup your config files if you want (I didn't had any problems updating though :/)
any updates with latest version?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #5) > any updates with latest version? Sorry, I currently do not have the time to test, but it is on my todo list. I'll have a bit more time towards the end of August.
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #5) > any updates with latest version? This problem is still present with networkmanager-0.9.8.8.
Can you report this to upstream then? -> bugzilla.gnome.org
