[BB 14.07] In the Luci section for "Interface / General Setup", the is a parameter "Hostname to send when requesting DHCP". That input field has a "ghost" value of $HOSTNAME (meaning to me that its default value is $HOSTNAME).
However, entering the $HOSTNAME in the field changes the behavior. I can see udhcpc being called with "-H $host" if I give a value, and no -H if left blank. It appears from command-line options that -H (or newer -x hostname:$HOST) causes the DHCP Hostname option to be sent, but it is not sent otherwise. So either: 1) The dhcp hostname option should be blank to indicate no default value (maintain current behavior) 2) When udhcpc is invoked, it should pass "-H $(hostname)" in case of default (make backend behave as Luci implies) IMO: I find it nice that many hosts pass their hostname automatically, so that the DHCP active lease list is useful, versus a lot of "?" entries and ethernet addresses. So, I would vote for 2. Opinions? Where would this bug get posted? (wiki.openwrt.org is down, so I cannot check the wiki) -- -Justin justinval...@gmail.com
