This implies that using /etc/conf.d/net to set domain name, dns and
ntp parameters should be the exception rather than the norm. That
'fixed' (not portable) systems with wired connections would not use
/etc/conf.d/net to set these parameters.
Sorry, but I disagree with this interpretation. The way I read it, it
says that in the rare case that one should wish to change things such as
domain, DNS, etc, one should use /etc/conf.d/net, but that a wireless
user is more likely to need/want such configurability than a typical
desktop user is.
