disable apipa completely
How would one disable apipa completely for all interfaces? -- Rage (talk) 16:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

As per the mailing list, gentoo-user - dhcpcd: disable zerconf

For dhcpcd, `noipv4ll` needs to be added to `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`.

rc_need_ifname deprecated
The correct syntax for declaring dependencies between interfaces is now rc_net_ifname_need. The Handboox still lists

rc_need_br0="net.eth0 net.eth1"

as example. The init script is now even issuing a warning when using the rc_need_ifname syntax. I think the example should be replaced in the handbook as follows:

rc_net_br0_need="net.eth0 net.eth1"
