With the latest netifrc version the interface is not properly setup. I have a very standard configuration in /etc/conf.d/net config_enp6s0="192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" routes_enp6s0="default via 192.168.1.1" And also the following symlink is in place: ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.enp6s0 Iproute2 reports my network interface is enp6s0. Downgrading to 0.4.0-r1 fixes the problem. Maybe the extra slash (/) introduces the problem?
