[Bug 1684039] [NEW] iBFT network configuration does not correctly populate PROTO=dhcp in /run/net-*.conf which breaks cloud-init

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by open-
iscsi as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-ipconfig.  This
includes populating /run/net-*.conf which is consumed among other
things, by cloud-init.

Currently no attempt to determine PROTO is made, and PROTO=none is hard
coded into the file which cloud-init does not recognise and crashes out.

Further to this, open-iscsi in the current version (xenial through
zesty) does not correctly parse the iBFT origin into the boot protocol
in "iscsistart -f" and always returns "STATIC".  This is fixed upstream.

** Affects: open-iscsi (Ubuntu)
