    Hello,

    Here's where I would start:
    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Networking

    The handbook is good for more than just the installation process, I've
    learned over the years.

    Also have a look at:

    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Networking/Modular

    which explains how to configure your /etc/conf.d/net file. However,
    most
    helpful is the well commented netifrc example file itself:

    /usr/share/doc/netifrc-0.7.3/net.example.bz2

    In there you can see how to configure with a static IP or dhcp each
    interface
    in turn. Copy that to your /etc/conf.d/net and edit it as you see fit.
    Ask
    if you get stuck on anything specific.

    This works for me (/etc/conf.d/net):
    dhcpcd_enp0s3=""
    config_enp0s8="192.168.56.13/24"

    Thanks

    Pat
