I've found that to be a problem on my wireless NIC.

The "fix" is to go to /etc/sysconfig/network/and add the following 
lines to the ifcfg-... file for the problem interface:


DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME='yes'
DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF='yes'
DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes'
DHCLIENT_SET_DOMAINNAME='yes'
DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTION='AUTO'
