** Description changed:

- Our devices are currently named by the model number, with no way to
- change that name. It shows up over MTP, Bluetooth etc. Having two
- devices of the same model means I can't then easily identify which one I
- want to interact with.
+ Our devices are currently named by the model number, with no way to change 
that name. It shows up over:
+ - MTP, where the name is "Aquaris E4.5"
+ - Bluetooth, where the name is "MX4 Ubuntu Edition"
+ - DHCP, where the device name is "ubuntu-phablet"
+   - for example "ssh ubuntu-phablet.znh"
+ 
+ etc.

  It should be possible to set a custom device name that will then be used
  in all those cases.
