What's your kernel command line? dropbear-initramfs' boot script merely calls `configure_networking` (from initramfs-tools package) which takes care of bringing up the network (by calling `ipconfig` from klibc-utils package). Passing "ip=::::$hostname::dhcp" does include $hostname in the DHCP request (at least ipconfig says so). Cheers, -- Guilhem.
