ifnet plugin should be controlled with USE netifrc or removed completely, not with USE systemd. Support for /etc/conf.d/net is optional in stable openrc and openrc[-netifrc,-newnet] works fine with NM.
Created attachment 382932 [details, diff] patch for ebuild Attached patch works fine for me, please commit.
I see the point, but taking care that ifnet plugin is not really being maintained, and has some opened bugs without solution, I would like to see other team members opinions about whether we should add the USE flag or drop it completely :/
