p21p1 is down after reboot

[Hiisi]

Hi, list.
I've deleted NetworkManager and created
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p21p1 with following content:
DEVICE=p21p1
TYPE=inet
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
#IPADDR=10.7.0.200
#NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=10.7.0.0
#BROADCAST=10.7.0.1
NAME=p21p1
BRIDGE=br0

Whenever I reboot this system p21p1 is down (I have first to ifconfig
up it and act with dhclient to it). What's the prob? What am I doing
wrong?
TIA
