We no longer send a ClientID by default. This is so we now mirror the kernel DHCP client and can re-use its lease by default. To retain the old behaviour, simply add clientid to dhcpcd.conf.

Compatibility
-------------
-dhcpcd-4.1 is only fully command line compatible with dhcpcd-4.0
+dhcpcd-5.0 is only fully command line compatible with dhcpcd-4.0
For compatibility with older versions, use dhcpcd-4.0
+dhcpcd no longer sends a default ClientID for ethernet interfaces.
+This is so we can re-use the address the kernel DHCP client found.
+To retain the old behaviour of sending a default ClientID based on the
+hardware address for interface, simply add the keyword clientid to dhcpcd.conf.
