[Dnsmasq-discuss] Linksys routers, bridges, network appliances: host names

Most of these little Linksys devices are capable of getting an IP address via DHCP from dnsmasq but none of them (that I have tried) seem capable of delivering their host name to dnsmasq as all of my Linux and Windows boxen do.  Is this a known limitation of these little boxes, or do I need to do something I haven't done in the dnsmasq.conf file?  I can pull a Wireshark trace of the DHCP transaction if that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
