Description of problem: Networkmanager should send host fqdn to dhcpd server for correct ddns update.
I test it for wifi connections only, look at server log: May 14 16:49:04 mini dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:23:91:82:04 via br0 May 14 16:49:05 mini dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.54.250 to 00:04:23:91:82:04 via br0 May 14 16:49:05 mini dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.54.250 (192.168.54.3) from 0 0:04:23:91:82:04 via br0 May 14 16:49:05 mini dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.54.250 to 00:04:23:91:82:04 via b r0

problem still present. if /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf present with hostname option, everyting work fine. if file absent networkmanager do not send `hostname` to dhcpd server
dhcp hostname currently only works if you have a system connection and have put DHCP_HOSTNAME into your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXX file.

There you can see my configuration. At https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=315369 you can see DHCP Client ID feeld filled with "axet-lapop" In server logs i see: Aug 29 19:06:13 mini dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:19:e3:d3:7b:51 via br0 Aug 29 19:06:14 mini dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.54.6 to 00:19:e3:d3:7b:51 via br0 Aug 29 19:06:14 mini dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.54.6 (192.168.54.3) from 00:19:e3:d3:7b:51 via br0 Aug 29 19:06:14 mini dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.54.6 to 00:19:e3:d3:7b:51 via br0 Aug 29 19:07:00 mini ntpd[2256]: synchronized to 89.108.124.4, stratum 2 And i except to see: Aug 24 17:33:23 mini dhcpd: Wrote 13 leases to leases file.

Ah, so here's the problem. DHCP Client Identifier is actually different than the hostname that gets sent to the DHCP server to update DNS. They are two different things entirely. The UI does not support sending a hostname to the DHCP server at this time. That's supported for system connections on Fedora right now via the DHCP_HOSTNAME variable in the ifcfg file.
thx for answer. you told me same things at the begining. i just wana note about this problem more detailed. as everyone fedora users networkmanager must provide easy way to set hostname by settings menu. and now i can see field for that purpose. i expect in near future we all can have great application to solve all network issues... thx again. ps: i also hope network architecture bug 446338 will be solved, as i told in short description its a defect by design.
In the end, I think we'll end up sending the machine's hostname to the server as you've set in /etc/sysconfig/network if it doesn't contain "localhost". That way to don't have to enter anything.
cool :)
