Hi Ani,
Thanks, the proposed patch looks clean and would fix the problem at hand.
I was wondering if it would make more sense to implement the distro specific script
hv_get_dhcp_info.sh to include dhcp configuration for Ipv6 specific configuration
instead.

I see for IPv6 the older ifcfg format also did not honor dhcp_enable flag, but how about
we add support for it starting with the keyfile format in the script.

That way distro vendors could have more control over the logic to get dhcp_enable data
and it would be easier to change
Thoughts? Hope I am making sense :)

Regards,
Shradha.
