Re: dhcp

I assume when you say dhcpd you mean dhcpcd (the client package). If the name ends up
in hostinfo-eth0 I believe this means that you're getting the option in the dhcp
response. That is, I don't think that any info in hostinfo-eth0 is generated. I'm just
guessing because I use the dhclient package instead. Perhaps you could give dhclient a
try (package: dhcp-client-beta)?
