+This package provides a system of modules to manage and configure network
+interfaces via individual per-interface scripts in /etc/init.d. Provided
+is the parent script "/etc/init.d/net.lo", which should be symlinked to
+create additional scripts for each interface to be configured:
+
+ ln -s /etc/init.d/net.{lo,eth0}
+
+Configuration is handled in "/etc/conf.d/net". A default (empty or missing)
+/etc/conf.d/net automatically uses DHCP to configure any network interfaces
+started by these scripts. To create a more complete configuration, please
+review net.example* in this directory and save your configuration
+in /etc/conf.d/net.
