Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, after a restart of the NetworkManager service, a connection with an already-set DHCP_HOSTNAME property was duplicated. Consequently, a DHCP lease was not always renewed upon its expiry. With this update, the connection is no longer duplicated, and a DHCP lease is correctly renewed in this scenario. Note that the fix includes ignoring the already-set hostname properties in the matching process. To avoid possible problems, remove all unused connections with an incorrect ipv4.dhcp-hostname.
