14 I ran into something like this recently when switching to systemd udev
15 from eudev.  When I rebooted, my interface names were changed.  Here's
16 what you can try, maybe it will work.  Do ifconfig and see what it is
17 named exactly.  This is the relevant part of mine:
18
19
20 root@fireball / # ifconfig
21 enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
22 <<< SNIP >>>
23
24
25 Mine is named enp3s0.  So, the file needs to be named net.enp3s0.  I
26 think you have that already but that will confirm your info.  So, you
27 need to create a file that links to net.lo.  Mine looks like this:
28
29
30 root@fireball / # ls -al /etc/init.d/net*
31 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Mar  1  2012 /etc/init.d/net.enp3s0 -> net.lo
32
33
34 I was in KDE so I used graphical tools.  In Krusader as root, must be
35 root to do this, I right clicked the net.lo file then selected Link
36 Handling.  It should pop up and ask you for a  name.  When it does, give
37 it the file name for your card but don't forget to put "net." in front
38 of it.  Whatever you do, don't delete net.lo or overwrite it.  I'm not
39 sure what all problems that would cause but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't
40 be good.  :-(  If you don't have Krusader, whatever tool you use that
41 has root privileges should have a way to create a link.
42
43 If you don't use a graphical file manager that has root abilities, man
44 ln and create the link with it.  I haven't used ln in so long, I can't
45 recall the proper way off the top of my head but it is pretty simple.  I
46 think what they call a soft link is enough.  As long as it looks similar
47 to mine above, you should be fine. 
48
49 Once you do one of those, you should be able to start, stop and restart
50 your network. 
51
52 Hope that helps.

58 Oh, I looked in the Gentoo wiki, I couldn't find a way to do this
59 there.  Either my search abilities are lacking or it isn't there.  Maybe
60 it's in the handbook.  Since the handbook moved to the wiki, it just
61 isn't the same. If you searched before asking, it's no wonder you
62 couldn't find a answer.
