You might also consider getting this info from the Windows registry if 
you're running a Windows PC:

This code:

#-------------------------------------------------
from _winreg import *

def list_run_at_boot():
    run_key = 
r"SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\{A9A76D2B-8D75-413F-A2F1-013095F2B61C}\Parameters\Tcpip"
    open_run_key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, run_key, 0, KEY_READ)
    print "Name \t Value\n"
    for i in range (10000):
       try:
          n,v,t = EnumValue(open_run_key, i)
          print n, "\t", v
       except EnvironmentError:
          print "\nThere are", i, "values under this key."
          break
    CloseKey(open_run_key)

list_run_at_boot()

#---------------------------------------------------

Produces this output:

#---------------------------------------------------

Name 	 Value

EnableDHCP 	1
IPAddress 	[u'0.0.0.0']
SubnetMask 	[u'0.0.0.0']
DefaultGateway 	[]

DhcpDefaultGateway 	[u'192.168.1.1']

Best of luck,
