I have been using the instruction below since LM 7.0 and they always work for
me:
edit the following file: /sbin/ifup
Look for a section that looks like this:
f [ "XXX$DHCP_CLIENT" != "XXX" ];then
case $(basename $DHCP_CLIENT) in
dhcpcd)
[ -n "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" ] && DHCP_ARGS="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME" [ -n
"$NEEDHOSTNAME" ] && DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -H"
DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -h chomehostname $DEVICE"
;;
You can see that I have added the parameters "-h chomehostname". Replace
"chomehostname" with your @Home hostname.
This assumes that you have tried to manually call dhcpcd -h
your_host_name, and it worked..�!
