Description
# Enhancement
On Gentoo, Netifrc and dhcpcd are the only option for network management on musl-only systems. dhcpcd is limited by the protocol itself and some cloud service providers rely on the IMDS entirely for net config. Gentoo does not support the traditional ifupdown scripts(aka. "ENI").
Adding Netifrc support to Cloud-init fixes this.
