Here it is, in case you lose it. You should read the dhcpcd.conf man page and put your options into /etc/dhcpcd.conf. MAN PAGE IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE. AN AUTOMATED ONE IS BEING WORKED. # A sample configuration for dhcpcd. # See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details. # Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS. hostname # To share the DHCP lease across OSX and Windows a ClientID is needed. http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/downloads/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/downloads/ dhcpcd is released under the 2 clause BSD license.

It was used in most Linux distributions as the primary DHCP client. I took over maintenance of dhcpcd in Gentoo Linux in 2004. By this time, dhcpcd had an ever growing patchset and I contacted Simon Kelly, the Debian maintainer of dhcpcd and asked if he had any luck contacting upstream about merging the combined patches.
