On my Sabayon box I’ve run in to situation, when I couldn’t start services depending on net like apache2 or sshd. I don’t use NetworkManager to manage the network connection, but it is installed and running:

/etc/init.d/NetworkManager status
 * status: inactive

I couldn’t start services depending on net

* WARNING: [service] is scheduled to start when NetworkManager has started

I assume that NetworkManager is somehow a default net provider for OpenRC. I’ve not have time to look in to it further, hoping it would get fixed soon. The workaround I’m using at the moment:

echo 'rc_need="!net"' >> /etc/conf.d/[service_name]
