Well I have try creating my own dhclient.conf but it has so many options
that I don't know whats working and whats  not, I think I have try a
hostname option inside that file but still when I check in the linksys sure
enough still no name...
out of the many options I have put in there I think from reading several
suggestions I finally left my fille with just the following two lines

dhclient.conf:
send host-name "dev.server";
supersede host-name "dev.server";

and my rc.conf has
hostname "dev.server";
dhclient=Yes
dhclient_flags="sip0"

am I doing something wrong?
