The default is to use the old net.ethx style network scripts, which still work as usual, so, that is why I said that I disagree about there being a regression. A regression means that something worked before, but it doesn't now, and that is not the case if you accept the defaults.
If you accept the defaults and it doesn't work, I will gladly agree that there is a major regression and the package should be masked. On the other hand, if the new network scripts do not work, I don't see that as a show stopper. Yes, I would agree that there should be a warning about turning off the oldnet use flag, but I don't think this warrants masking the ebuild, unless I am missing something. If I am, definitely let me know. -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead willi...@gentoo.org
