8 That's correct, you do not need one if you are using something like
9 networkmanager or dhcpcd in master mode.

13 Both would be installed, but you still have to configure the one you

16 Also, the other message in this thread is correct; the netifrc use flag

19 I originally planned to release openrc-0.12.x along with a newsitem that
20 instructed you to emerge the netifrc package if you want the legacy
21 network stack, but some users/devs felt that Ishould go further to make
22 sure netifrc remains installed on their systems.
