There is no "generally accepted correct gentoo way", there is only |
| 19 |
whatever you feel like using. |

You have various choices |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- an orthodox network manager like wicd or nm |
| 24 |
- a minimal network manager like connman |
| 25 |
- /etc/init.d/net* scripts supplied by OpenRc |
| 26 |
- no manager, do it manually |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
OpenRc is the default for no real reason other than it is and has been |
| 29 |
for some time. It can also be gotten to work in every case known to man, |
| 30 |
the same can't be said for the other options. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If you want to ditch wicd because you think it's not the supported or |
| 33 |
approved way, you might want to revisit that choice |
