   If my reading of this   
    article   
   on PXE is correct, the kernel can indeed inherit network settings from   
   a PXE boot. But if you?re not using PXE, then that?s not relevant, of   
   course. I don?t know of any other booting setup that could pass across   
   network parameters from the bootloader to the kernel.   
      
   Places I know of where the kernel can get network interface setups:   
     * DHCP client   
     * /etc/network/interfaces file (or distro-specific equivalent)   
     * systemd.network files   
     * NetworkManager
