If you 'service NetworkManager stop' and also 'killall -TERM nm-system-settings', then run (as root): /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --debug --plugins=ifcfg-fedora what's the output?

What's the output of: ps aux | grep dhclient while you're connected using NetworkManager? Are there any _more_ lines in /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf than what was in nm-dhclient-eth0.conf?

I've just been playing with this one at the moment in F8. I've got DHCP_HOSTNAME=rhapsody in both /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 nm-applet on F8 now shows just "Auto eth0", but I'll leave that for the time-being... anyway, with NetworkManager nm-dhclient-eth0.conf contains send host-name "rhapsody"; BUT I don't think the client is actually sending this --- I captured the packets with Wireshark and it's not in any of the DHCP request's options.

Your F8 machine has a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
then. The system settings service will create automatic wired
connections for those devices that don't have any existing system
connection found. So on your F9 machine, you do not have any ifcfg
files and thus the automatic connection is created.

s-c-n operates on ifcfg files, which are "connections" in NM
terminology. Thu

It only works for system connections at the moment, but if you have
DHCP_HOSTNAME in your ifcfg file, it should pick that up and send it.
Verify this by dumping /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf and seeing what
options are in it.

On your F9 box, could you stop NetworkManager, 'killall -TERM
nm-system-settings', and the provide the output of the following
command? You can Ctl+C it after about 10 seconds or so.
/usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --debug --plugins=ifcfg-fedora
Thanks!

Automatic eth0 lost, and using DHCP send-hostname
Hello,
Just giving NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.11.svn3846.fc{89} a spin. A couple of
things:
1. My F8 machine has only "System eth0" (no auto),
and my F9 machine has only "Auto eth0".
I've purged /system/networking/connections in gconf, and restarted
nm-applet, but I can't get the "missing" connections back. Shouldn't
there be both? And how can I choose which one I want to auto-connect?
Actually, it seems that if I enable eth0 on boot on the F8 machine with
s-c-n, it will autoconnect "System eth0"... this doesn't *seem* to be
required on F9, since it only presents "Auto eth0". Maybe the s-c-n
checkbox should be relabeled "Connect automatically whenever link
available" or something?
2. I can't seem to get the DHCP send-hostname feature to work.
I've set it using s-c-n, but in F9 (choosing "Auto eth0") the machine
gets bound to a dynamically-assigned name, *not* the DHCP_HOSTNAME I
configured in ifcfg-. I still need the
old /etc/dhclient*.conf for it to work. Likewise in F8 (choosing "System
eth0"), although I've not been able to get it working even
with /etc/dhclient*.conf in place.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
James.
