Package: netcfg Version: 0.71 Severity: normal
Well, apparently my dhcp server is giving the hostname of 59:69:67:72:32:35:0, which is definitively not a valid hostname, and netcfg informs us of such when i type enter. netcfg should maybe check for the validity of the hostname obtained by dhcp before proposing it to the user. it is doing the check anyway when you chose it, so maybe it should be done at first directly. Also, it would be great if there was some discreet user feedback to inform that this hostname comes from the DHCP server. Maybe a little discreet DHCP chain added somewhere in the dialog ?
