It doesn't work in my side. :-(
Running 'ifup eth0' shows some errors(I use "set -x")
...
+ /sbin/dhclient -H localhost -1 -q -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient--eth0.lease -pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid eth0
grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: Permission dinied.

done.
I'm trying to find out the cause.

We can also think the current format used in kvp daemon is already
distro-agnostic -- it just happens to look like the style of network config file
used in RHEL :-)

Yeah, this is exactly what we already have today.

OK, so the patch would be 1-line only:
diff --git a/tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c b/tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c
index 22b0764..53fdaad 100644
--- a/tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c

} else {
error = kvp_write_file(file, "BOOTPROTO", "", "none");
if (error)
I'll send out a v2 after I resolve the "grep ... Permission dinied" issue.
