This bug is being opened for work on building better comments in /etc/conf.d/net . Currently conf.d/net has many capabilities which are not shown how to use anywhere, and only can be discovered by examining the complex /etc/init.d/net.eth0 file. The intent is to gather usage examples to be included in the default file as comments. This bug has spawned from another bug, Bug 38538, which spoke about this issue but was only focused on a dhcp issue.
as found in /etc/init.d/net.eth0 ... # setup_vars: setup variables based on $1 and content of /etc/conf.d/net # The following variables are set, which should be declared local by # the calling routine. # status_IFACE (up or '') # vlans_IFACE (space-separated list) # ifconfig_IFACE (array of ifconfig lines, replaces iface_IFACE) # dhcpcd_IFACE (command-line args for dhcpcd) # routes_IFACE (array of route lines) # inet6_IFACE (array of inet6 lines) # ifconfig_fallback_IFACE (fallback ifconfig if dhcp fails)
with 1.11.x, /etc/conf.d/net is a blank file make sure your work is still valid against net.example in 1.11.x
