explicitly wants to have the option BOOTPROTO=static in the documentation http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html At present we have BOOTPROTO=<protocol> where <protocol> is one of the following: * none — No boot-time protocol should be used. * bootp — The BOOTP protocol should be used. * dhcp — The DHCP protocol should be used.
It is not a bug just a common misunderstanding.
