Is there an easy way of auto generating a hostname at boot time?

Is there a way of having a hostname auto generted at boot time, possibly
based on an available network address.

e.g.

hostname not on the network: beagleboard
hostname on the network: beagleboard-00259C642A2C

Getting the hostname suffix from the ethernet0 HWaddr.
  

Try :

ethaddr=`cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address | sed s/\://g`
hostname="beagleboard-$ethaddr"

Of course you need to have sysfs mounted before doing this.
