I think I'm having the same problem. But won't this solution only work if you have a static IP address (or your dhcp server gives you the same address every time)?
Seems like I could specify a hostname in /etc/network/interfaces like: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hostname eth0name But that doesn't seem to work.
