That's the device (ethernet port) name, NOT the host name. The host name
is controlled by the contents of the /etc/hostname file, which is read
at boot time and sets the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the
machine.

The stuff in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files (and NM's
configurations) control how the interfaces themselves are configured
and do not affect the hostname of the machine.

I believe NM uses the DEVICE _or_ the HWADDR to set up the interface.
Whichever one matches the hardware config first is what gets used (I'm
not sure which has precedence). And don't be confused...the values in
the NM config are only used to match the hardware.

And in answer to your second message, NM doesn't do any renaming of
devices. That's still done by the udev rules.
