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 ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther

   * Joshua Kwan
     - Don't bother depending on mii-diag-udeb for netcfg-static as it's not
       used.
     - Patch by Adam Thornton to add recognition for IUCV devices in static
       configuration. (Closes: #258109)
     - Don't suggest hostname given by the DHCP server if it's invalid.
       (Closes: #258207)
     - Ask netcfg/choose_interface at prio critical. (Closes: #257963)
     - Build with NDEBUG.
     - Indicate which interfaces are wireless. (Closes: #258338)
     - Cut off domain when seeding hostname from DNS. (Closes: #258852)
       Seed get_domain with it instead.
   * Colin Watson

   * Per Olofsson
     - Generate hotplug mapping entries for 16-bit PCMCIA cards as well,
