For long as the handbook is using netifrc by default, instead of dhcpcd, it should include the step of:

# emerge --noreplace netifrc

https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap2

The --noreplace will ensure no useless rebuild will happen for long as the IUSE="+netifrc" is there, it will be just IUSE="" when this is done

I'll propably end up attaching a patch, but it doesn't REALLY need one, it's so simple to add :-)

ping?    well, I suppose I have failed to attach the patch, but this is urgent too...
