[maemo-users] Wifi name

[From: John Holmblad]

Jeffrey,

who is the manufacturer of your router? I
s it running the DHCP  service for your network?

 It is possible that your DHCP service is not recognizing/processing the 
host name option parameter^1 in the DHCP request from the N800.  I know 
for a fact that the Linksys RV series of routers, which do support an 
optional DHCP server, do process the parameter properly. The client host 
name appears as

    Nokia-N800-23-14
