Hi Vitally,
I think you're correct:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp + "no IPADDR" +  IPV6ADDR in RHEL7's 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 works for me too.

My previous "grep: ... ifcfg-eth0: Permission denied" issue can't repro now.
Maybe it's because I messed up the config file somehow(?).

I'll send out a v2 patch according to your suggestion.

Thanks,
