Yes, that says all you need is '+newnet' for Openrc
& it will use its own DHCP to connect to the I/net.
However, my netbook has '-newnet -netifrc' & still connects automatically !
Below are the 2 versions, which show no significant difference I can see.
So I still want to know why Netbook connects automatically
& would welcome any further advice, so I can bring the Desktop into line.
As to the earlier queston re re-plugging the I/net connection,
there seems to have been an unannounced change in default c 2013 .
IIRC in 2012, when I built the Desktop machine, for both machines
I had to shut down Dhcpcd via 'dhcpcd -k' & restart via 'dhcpcd'
before/after un/plugging the physical connection.
In /etc on the Desktop I have a file 'dhcpcd-dft.conf',
which is dated 120907, ie when I started installing Gentoo in it,
& which I renamed after creating the revised version I wanted :
that file ends with 2 lines :
# dhcpcd ebuild requested no zeroconf
noipv4ll
The comment is typically obscure to any normal user (wry smile).
Both machines' dhcpcd.conf files lack those lines today.
