Subject: [PATCH] redhat: Use NetworkManager to set DHCP hostnames on recent
RHEL distros
RH-Author: Mohamed Gamal Morsy <mmorsy@redhat.com>
RH-MergeRequest: 13: redhat: Use NetworkManager to set DHCP hostnames on recent RHEL distros
RH-Bugzilla: 2133446
RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
RH-Commit: [1/1] 673e76149dd1f2fb4e23823844ed294fdbbecb1a
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2133446
Recent versions of RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 started using NetworkManager to configure
network intefaces instead of sysconfig files. Configurations are no longer
stored in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-{interface}.
Fix this for setting DHCP hostnames in those RHEL versions.
