At least, we should mention Connection Editor (nm-connection-editor). This is a proposed SLED 11 RN snippet. Maybe, you can make use of it: Using NetworkManager and DHCP NetworkManager creates network connection settings automatically. If it does not suit your needs, use Connection Editor (nm-connection-editor) to customize it. When there is no configuration "profile" at all, NetworkManager automatically creates one and names is "Auto $interface-name". That is made in attempt to work without any configuration for as many cases as (securely) possible. If that does not work, create your own profile. Note, you cannot ed= it and change "Auto $interface-name". Connection Editor allows changing every possible option with exception of "send hostname to DHCP server". In order to set this option, use GNOME Configuration Editor (gconf-editor). The key /system/networking/connections/$number/ipv4/dhcp-hostname (replace "$number" with the actual number) must be set to the string value, which should be sent to the DHCP server. A special value system-hostname can be used to send the current hostname. This reconfiguration might be necessary if you switch from "Traditional Method with ifup" to "User Controlled with NetworkManager" in t= he "Network Settings" dialog of YaST. For more information about NetworkManager, see the Adminstration Guide, Chapter NetworkManager. --=20 Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=3Demail ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. --===============5835217774216276164==-- From bugzilla_noreply@novell.com Wed Feb 11 09:05:23 2009 From: bugzilla_noreply@novell.com To: bugs@lists.opensuse.org Subject: [Bug 474663] networkmanager: hostname is not sent by dhcp (RN) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 02:07:18 -0700 Message-ID: <20090211090718.6E054245393@molor.provo.novell.com> In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============4339210543921792689==" --===============4339210543921792689== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D474663 User ke(a)novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D474663#c1 --- Comment #1 from Karl Eichwalder 2009-02-11 02:07:17 MS= T --- My proposal is probably mostly obsolete because of the nm.xml file...
