OK... so gentoo-networking? or just come up with own name? best-networking? However, I do not understand how you can port it without changing the notations... or lowering features... example: rc_net_*_provide, rc_net_*_need, or the rc_config, rc_use, rc_net_*_provide="!net" etc... Do you think systemd users can understand that /etc/conf.d/net is actually a shell script? I hope this is not going to be eliminated, as I use it a lot. Regards, Alon Bar-Lev.
