The default is to use the old net.ethx style network scripts, which |
| 10 |
still work as usual, so, that is why I said that I disagree about there |
| 11 |
being a regression. A regression means that something worked before, |
| 12 |
but it doesn't now, and that is not the case if you accept the defaults. |

If you accept the defaults and it doesn't work, I will gladly agree that |
| 15 |
there is a major regression and the package should be masked. On the |
| 16 |
other hand, if the new network scripts do not work, I don't see that as |
| 17 |
a show stopper. Yes, I would agree that there should be a warning about |
| 18 |
turning off the oldnet use flag, but I don't think this warrants masking |
| 19 |
the ebuild, unless I am missing something. If I am, definitely let me |
| 20 |
know. |
