How can I block network setup (via NetworkManager) from changing the machine's hostname whenever the network configuration changes?
Make it a system connection instead of a user connection. Or give the host a static name on install and don't allow dhcp to override it.
Making my wireless connection a system connection increases the exposure of my WPA key and doesn't solve the problem of the network configuration changing, perhaps because I connected or disconnected an ethernet cable or the machine went to sleep on one WLAN and woke up on another.
Do you know of a place I can set a static name that NetworkManager won't override? That would be ideal. I just doesn't make sense that the machine's internal relationships would depend on its external connections.
