I am very happy with systemd and I am getting used to it.
I get my things to run and see also my system getting booted much faster
as with openrc.
But this is one other subject people have to decide for themselves on
their behalf.

openrc is a really big "plus" in gentoo. I avoid systemd.
In the meantime, I have discovered functions that can be invoked in
/etc/conf.d/net that should be really useful. I hope to add a
[RESOLVED] if I get them to work.
I have no idea why it worked as I expected before my filesystem crash.

I am totally stupid. I got you now.
Check if the networkmanager of systemd or "DEFINETLY" openrc is used.
More I cannot tell you....

Okay, I have an update on this.
Note that wlp3s0 is the WireLess adapter and enp0s2 is the wired
Ethernet adapter.
Given the /etc/conf.d/net as shown below (i.e. only
config_wlp3s0="dhcp")
1. If there is *no* /etc/init.d/net.enp0s2 link (or any adapter
link), then the wireless connection comes up with a dhcp-derived
address
2. if there *is* an /etc/init.d/net.enp0s2 link, and the same
/etc/conf.d/net file:
1. the wireless comes up with no address (and no dhcp attempt in
/var/log/syslog)
2. The wired adapter has a (dhcp-derived) zero-conf address or
something, at 169.
3. if a fixed ip address is additionally specified for the wired
adapter in /etc/conf.d/net
1. it is assigned as specified
2. No attempt is made to run dhcp on the wireless anymore
(although dhcp *is* specified for it in /etc/conf.d/net)
The thing is, before my root filesystem got crashed by a negligent
ext4 recovery, the system came up multi-homed, with a static and a
dhcp-derived address.
Coming from 4.9.? to 4.19.72.
Could it be that something changed?

but I still have to manually start dhcpcd (now, after installing
kernel
4.19.72).
Another problem - wpa_supplicant then defines a default gateway, even
though one already existed for the wired connection:
config_enp2s0="192.168.179.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd
192.168.179.255"
routes_enp2s0="default via 192.168.179.24"
I have to then manually delete that when I'm on wireless. That all
happened automatically before. I wonder how I broke that all.
