After updating to 2008 pkgset after merging openrc  I lost the
net.eth0 link.. I see other have seen this and even at least 2 bug
reports but the cure is said to be recreating by hand.

I find that not to work... DETAILS:

First, net.lo is itself a symlink to /lib/rc/sh/net.sh, so I'm
creating a symlink to a symlink... ok so far.

once its created (net.eth0 as symlink to net.lo) the usual commands
for stopping or checking status etc don't work.

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start/stop/status  gives me results that appear
not to have anything to do with reality.

 # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
 * ERROR: net.eth0 has been stopped by something else

 # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * WARNING: net.eth0 has already been started

meantime netstat indicates no changes at all.. eth0 is up throughout.

So what is the correct procedure here?
