openrc is a really big "plus" in gentoo. I avoid systemd.
In the meantime, I have discovered functions that can be invoked in
/etc/conf.d/net that should be really useful. I hope to add a
[RESOLVED] if I get them to work.
I have no idea why it worked as I expected before my filesystem crash.

I am totally stupid. I got you now.
Check if the networkmanager of systemd or "DEFINETLY" openrc is used.
More I cannot tell you....

Okay, I have an update on this.
Note that wlp3s0 is the WireLess adapter and enp0s2 is the wired
Ethernet adapter.
Given the /etc/conf.d/net as shown below (i.e. only
config_wlp3s0="dhcp")
1. If there is *no* /etc/init.d/net.enp0s2 link (or any adapter
link), then the wireless connection comes up with a dhcp-derived
address
2. if there *is* an /etc/init.d/net.enp0s2 link, and the same
/etc/conf.d/net file:
1. the wireless comes up with no address (and no dhcp attempt in
/var/log/syslog)
2. The wired adapter has a (dhcp-derived) zero-conf address or
something, at 169.
3. if a fixed ip address is additionally specified for the wired
adapter in /etc/conf.d/net
1. it is assigned as specified
2. No attempt is made to run dhcp on the wireless anymore
(although dhcp *is* specified for it in /etc/conf.d/net)
The thing is, before my root filesystem got crashed by a negligent
ext4 recovery, the system came up multi-homed, with a static and a
dhcp-derived address.
Coming from 4.9.? to 4.19.72.
Could it be that something changed?

but I still have to manually start dhcpcd (now, after installing kernel
4.19.72).
Another problem - wpa_supplicant then defines a default gateway, even
though one already existed for the wired connection:
config_enp2s0="192.168.179.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd
192.168.179.255"
routes_enp2s0="default via 192.168.179.24"
I have to then manually delete that when I'm on wireless. That all
happened automatically before. I wonder how I broke that all.
