      I have a nexus 5X. It's running oreo. Since updating to oreo, the dhcpv4 client-hostname is missing. I'm wondering if this is unique to my device for some reason or if it's the same for all android 8 devices.

      UPDATE: Apparently this is a feature. Android 8 is using the RFC 7844 anonymity profile, so the hostname is blank. I wish they would allow users to make this decision for themselves, rather than being forced to use it.
