I just ran into this, from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dhcpcd
/Static IP addresses/
//
/In case the network interface card should be configured with a
//static IP address <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Static_Routing>//,
add their data to ///etc/dhcpcd.conf//.//^[1]
<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dhcpcd#cite_note-manpage-1> //The
following is an example of manually adding a static address, routes,
and DNS by editing DHCPCD's configuration file using a text editor
of choice: /
//
/FILE////*|/etc/dhcpcd.conf|*//**/
/static ip_address=192.168.0.10/24/
(haven't tried it yet, my system is busy right now).
So, what is /etc/conf.d/net for? What programs read it?

My eth0/enp2s0 network adapter is configured so:
$ cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_enp2s0="192.168.179.20/24"
but on boot, I get a bonjour address:
enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:BA:4E:29:99:9E
inet addr:*169.254.71.117 * Bcast:169.254.255.255
Mask:255.255.0.0
if I restart the service immediately after boot, nothing much happens,
I still get the bonjour address.
sudo rc-service net.enp2s0 restart
Incidently, dhcpcd is still running at this point.
But after a couple of tries:
sudo rc-service net.enp2s0 restart
and then I get my connection:
$ ifconfig
enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:BA:4E:29:99:9E
inet addr:*192.168.179.20* Bcast:192.168.179.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
And:
$ sudo rc-service dhcpcd status
* status: *crashed*
From /var/log/syslog:
[ 260.895907] dhcpcd[6664]: segfault at 400a00000000 ip
0000560edbf464bd sp 00007ffe06bf4f10 error 4 in
dhcpcd[560edbf23000+46000]*

Why does dhcpcd think it can configure my interface and what's the
connection between /etc/conf.d/net and dhcpcd?
