dhcpcd unknown option

Hi I am using netcfg to connect to my wireless network and it has been working perfectly until the kernel upgrade to 2.6.30. Once I upgraded, whenever I would run 'netcfg network', it would print "dhcpdp: unknown option hostname" twice then it would connect. I thought it would be a problem with my hosts file but that seems properly set up. Anyway, here it is along with the networking part of my rc.conf:

#
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain    localhost dany-laptop
64.233.169.103        www.google.com        g

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOSTNAME="dany-laptop"

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

NETWORKS=(haddadhome ziyad)

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @hal @cpufreq @crond @alsa)

Re: dhcpcd unknown option

I got the same error, but with the eth0 interface.
the solution was to modify the DHCPCD_ARGS in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd.

Can you show the /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd contents?
