Dhcp client issue

Hi.

I'm running FC12, updated on x86_64 hardware.

My dhcp server is expecting my client (the FC12 box) to send a request with:

option dhcp-client-identifier 01:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC address, and 01 is the type-code for
Ethernet.

Unfortunately, by default Fedora omits this option in the request.

Is there an easy way to do this?  Like:

interface "eth0" {
    send dhcp-client-identifier hardware;
}


for instance?

Thanks,

-Philip
