Change "rc" to "openrc" after "Now that the network interface has been successfully stopped and started, the next step is to have it started when Gentoo boots. Here is how to do this.:"

The handbook states to run the "rc" command after running: rc-update add net.eth0 default

However, the "rc" command is deprecated. (Source: I just ran the command and a warning popped up) According to said warning, the new way to call the command is with the "openrc" command

The above suggestions seem to no longer be applicable, so i'm marking them as 'done'.

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

The following portion of the Handbook describes 'simple' network configuration for systems running the OpenRC init system, utilizing netifrc as the network management system.

"Creating an interface init script" section

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

By default, netifrc installs /etc/init.d/net.lo, which can be symlinked to create init scripts for new interfaces.

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

Interface names can be determined by running ip link show (ip l for short) or ls /sys/class/net.

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

With the interface init scripts created and configured, netifrc services can be managed using rc-service.

Thanks! Added in Special:Diff/1311683/1316647
