Yes, that looks okay. My other thought is about the contents of
/etc/conf.d/net. IIRC there was some confusion about the proper
syntax of that file concerning the use of parentheses and quote
marks, and I believe the syntax did change at least once.
You could check your current syntax against the most recently
installed /usr/share/doc/openrc*/net.example.bz2.
