30 I've just updated the system and it installed openrc-0.5.1. After reboot
31 I have noticed that none of my network interfaces were configured (
32 lo,eth0). If it wasn't for this mail, it'd take a headache or two to
33 figure out that init. script is new.
34
35 But I still don't have a clue how to use it. I have started it, but it
36 dd not seem to do anything. I thought that it would probably take
37 settings from /etc/conf.d/net, but that doesn't seem to be the case,
38 ande there is no other config in sight.

40 Also, neither on gentoo.org or on roy.maples.name seem to be anything
41 resembling documentation...
