openrc-0.5.1 had this section in /etc/init.d/network: if [ -n "$defaultroute" ]; then ebegin "Setting default route $defaultroute" if [ "$RC_UNAME" = Linux ]; then route add default gw $defaultroute else route add default $defaultroute fi eend $? fi now it just has this: if [ -n "$defaultroute" ]; then ebegin "Setting default route $defaultroute" route add default $defaultroute eend $? elif [ -n "$defaultiproute" ]; then ebegin "Setting default route $defaultiproute" ip route add default $defaultiproute eend $? fi Note the missing check for Linux which adds the "gw" to the route add line. As a side note, why was the 0.5.x openrc series removed from the tree so quickly? Now there's nothing to use as a fallback. Reproducible: Always

That is correct. The updated /etc/conf.d/network shows that the default route variables now include "gw" as the first word in the setting, for example: defaultroute="gw 192.168.0.1" And, for defaultiproute, "via" needs to be included: defaultiproute="via 192.168.0.1" This should fix your issue.
