happens to miss the handbook section on networking. If the user skips
parts of the handbook, things may not work quite right... but the manual
workaround is so trivial anyway, this is really a non-issue. Just make it
clear that "emerge netifrc" is needed to use net.* scripts, and mention
some alternatives. A news item would be a good idea to warn veteran
"haven't used the handbook in years" people.
