netcfg 2.8.2 has been moved to [core]. It has been six months since netcfg had
an update, so it accumulated quite some changes. Here is a shortlist.

  * Configuration has moved out of `rc.conf`. Please move your configuration to
`/etc/conf.d/netcfg`.

  * Connection types ending in `-old`, `-dbus` and `-iproute` are discontinued.
Remove the suffix if you still have it: you didn't need it.

  * Systemd is now supported for single profile, multiple profile, automatic
wired and automatic wireless connections.

  * For your basic wifi needs, you can now use the bundled `wifi-menu` tool. It
is a dialog based connection aid inspired by wifi-select.

  * Disconnecting an interface is no longer done through `-i`. The new parameter
is `-D`. Reconnecting an interface is possible through `-R`.

  * There is a new connection type: PPPoE.
