Bug Description
Debian jessie
wicd version: 1.7.4+tb2-1
isc-dhcp-client version: 4.3.3-8
problem:
a pc connecting to a lan router acting as a dhcp server does not register its hostname (in openwrt web interface
the name is just a question mark)
Workaround/solution
in:
/etc/wicd/
the line:
send host-name "$_HOSTNAME";
needs to be substituted by:
send host-name = "$_HOSTNAME";
best regards

I have the same issue on my laptop.
OS version: Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch)
isc-dhcp-client version: 4.3.5-3
wicd version: 1.7.4+tb2-4
But, the workaround does not work for me. Adding the "=" character, does not change anything. The router still receive "$_HOSTNAME".
