My last test with Network Manager was a couple of years ago. At that time, a client that was set to boot using DHCP and NM would not set its hostname when such was provided with the DHCP response. That was a show stopper for me (none of my 200+ non-wifi clients have any configuration on them that identifies the machine in any way). Is this still the case?
To the best of my knowledge, DNS is queried for the hostname info if a connection is set to come up at boot, and I believe it's the first connection that comes up that gets the prize.
I get a hostname upon boot with my laptops and my desktops, wired and wireless, with CentOS 6.5
