I feel the network script (newnet) should be more verbose about what it is doing. Currently it just displays: "Starting network" and "Setting default route ..." It would be nice though if it could also display which interfaces it is setting up for what addresses using what method (ifconfig/iproute) and so on. Reproducible: Always
You can always add this to /etc/conf.d/network export EINFO_VERBOSE=yes

Does Roy's suggestion above give you the information you need? Thanks, William

There are instances where I might have a junior admin restarting a server that does not need to have this info. It is one of them one can enable and disable, all comes down to choice.
