ConnMan already sends the system hostname in its DHCP client messages,
so this is handled automatically. The host name is fetched in
plugins/loopback.c. If the DHCP based dns name setting does not work,
please check the DHCP server configuration and/or ask the server
administrator if there are restrictions on which hostnames to accept or
if your machine is allowed to have its name updated in dns etc.
But according to the mail from Daniel Wagner on Friday, not all DHCP
servers will provide an IP address lease if the host name is sent...
Cheers,
Patrik
