CentOS changes a LOT, especially around networking, so I would not be
surprised if it does not work. It still takes me like 20 minutes to figure
out what the hell I am doing when I login to CentOS7.  No ifconfig, no
iptables, etc, etc, etc...  They pretty much did a wholesale change of
everything you expect to be there.

Lots of testing will have to be done on this and I have not tried to do
that yet...
