OK... so gentoo-networking? or just come up with own name? best-networking? |

However, I do not understand how you can port it without changing the |
21 |
notations... or lowering features... example: rc_net_*_provide, |
22 |
rc_net_*_need, or the rc_config, rc_use, rc_net_*_provide="!net" |
23 |
etc... |
24 |
|

Do you think systemd users can understand that /etc/conf.d/net is |
26 |
actually a shell script? I hope this is not going to be eliminated, as |
27 |
I use it a lot. |
