[rhelv6-list] DHCP_HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ignored

[Gabriella Schmidt]

In the new NetworkManager I cant find an entry where its possible to define 
the feature to tell the dhcp-client to request a
nameserver entry. So I change manually 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to include a line with
DHCP_HOSTNAME=rhel6virtual
but this file seems not to be used. It is the only fcfg-eth* file, but 
ifconfig tells  I am using eth1:

[root at rhel6virtual ~]# ifconfig
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:09:9D:05
           inet addr:149.236.13.53  Bcast:149.236.13.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe09:9d05/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:77996 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:38905 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:51088540 (48.7 MiB)  TX bytes:9485095 (9.0 MiB)


How do I enable this feature?

In Red Hat BugzillaI found: Bug 469336 NetworkManager does not send 
hostname to dhcp server
