Public bug reported:

Looks like we need to figure out how to do distribution specific
handling in sysconfig.py for the file content anyway.

For a static network configuration on openSUSE and SLES BOTOPROTO must
be set to "static", but based on the comment in sysconfig.py

                # grep BOOTPROTO sysconfig.txt -A2 | head -3
                # BOOTPROTO=none|bootp|dhcp
                # 'bootp' or 'dhcp' cause a DHCP client
                # to run on the device. Any other
                # value causes any static configuration
                # in the file to be applied.
                # ==> the following should not be set to 'static'
                # but should remain 'none'
                # if iface_cfg['BOOTPROTO'] == 'none':
                #    iface_cfg['BOOTPROTO'] = 'static'

This might cause trouble on RHEL/Centos/Fedora
