Apparenty the handbook is out of date.

   3.b. Interface Handlers

   We provide two interface handlers presently: ifconfig and iproute2.
   You need one of these to do any kind of network configuration.

   ifconfig is the current Gentoo default and it's included in the
   system profile. iproute2 is a more powerful and flexible package,
   but it's not included by default.
