Description of Problem: I am not sure if this is a problem or was done intentionally. An nfs gui install was done on two more or less identical systems. The only difference is that one of the systems has one ethernet interface and the other has two. In both cases, eth0 is defined with a static ip address, the ip address is defined to the dns server, and the nfs install was performed through eth0. If there is only eth0 then the host name is filled in. However, if there are eth0 and eth1 then the host name is not filled in. eth1 is correctly marked for dhcp. As I said, I cannot really say if this was done intentionally or even argue for it to be "fixed".
This is acting as intended in our current code (not sure how that compares to the 8.0 behavior anymore, though)
