Alrighty, finally found some free time (sometime last night around 1am
or something, not really sure at this point when exactly I finished heh)

I consolidated all the patches that we apply in Gentopia, and included
Shogun's patch, which, required a bit of reworking (Shogun, what version
did you generate this patch against exactly?)  and does seem to be
working here, although I keep an empty /etc/conf.d/net so, it would have
worked regardless...  Anyways, those other Gentoo users who aren't
running out of CVS, please try out the Gentopia 0.6.4-r1 ebuild and give
me some things to fix.
