+From: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com>
+Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 00:22:07 -0200
+Subject: [PATCH] rhel: Enable DHCP support for internal ports.
+
+The current initscripts ifup-ovs brings up internal ports as
+an ordinary ethernet device, so BOOTPROTO=dhcp|none does not
+consider any OVS/bridge detail.
+
+Since DHCP requires a port in the bridge to reach the server,
+bring up the required port before in the same way it does for
+OVS bridge.
