[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#763640: network-manager: should not put dhcp-client-identier in quotes

[Johannes Rohr]

Just found out what is going on here:

src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-dhclient-utils.c 

tries to determine whether the dhcp-client-identifier is a hex string or not. 

The string I used was something like

1:0:ab:aa:ab

which is a perfectly acceptable hex string for dhclient, still the text identifies it as an 
ASCII string and thus encloses it in double quotes.

When I change this to

01:00:ab:aa:ab

it works, NetworkManager generates a dhclient.conf without double quotes around 
the client identifier.

So maybe the test should be changed to accommodate such cases...
