BusyBox v1.20.2 udhcpc hostname question

Hello:

We're running an older BusyBox version (1.20.2) and we're using udhcpc from our ifup script.

Specifically, we're acquiring the host name from /etc/hostname and passing it to udhcpc with the -H option.

However, when I capture the DHCP traffic using Wireshark, I can't see the host name being included.
I can see DHCP option 12 being specified in the Parameter Request List (bit 12), but the host name isn't
showing-up.

Is there any chance this was a bug in that older version and possibly fixed now?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Glenn
