+Subject: [PATCH] Add hostname-labeled loopback entries for DHCP
+
+This addresses a regression since the netconfig in Slackware 14.2. Previously,
+when selecting to configure the machine with DHCP we would have entries with
+the loopback addresses that were labeled with the machine's hostname.
+Without these, a machine will not be able to contact itself using its own
+hostname unless something else is providing matching name service, and we
+do not want to have to rely on this.
