    The pfsense DHclient does not register the assigned hostname into the Speedstream 6520's DHCP server. Both winXp and Ububntu 6.10 register properly.

    The Dhclient files are correct
    $ more /var/etc/dhclient_wan.conf
    interface "rl1" {
    send dhcp-client-identifier "pfWan1";
    send host-name "pfWan1";

    script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
    }

    The SS520 reports Hostname unknown and the the correct MAC address

      Set the hostname in Interfaces -> WAN -> DHCP client configuration -> Hostname

        Sulrich,
        It has been set there otherwise the dhclient_wan.conf
        would not have the correct entries!

              Reboot the speed touch router, then reboot pfSense.  Seth was able to reproduce this and that was his fix.

                The 2 Speedstream 6520s with Firmware Part #:004-E752-AEP Config Part #:003-6045-G0G
                and the pfsense box were powered down. The SS6520s were then powered up. After the Power, Ethernet, DSL and Internet lights on the SS6520s were illuminated pfsense was powered up.

                Neither SS6520 registered the pfsense dhclient Hostname. MAC address registered.
                Both Static and Dynamic addresses were tested on the SS6520s.
                For your reference the pfsense box has 4    ENL832-TX-RENT PCI ethernet adapters using the RL driver.
