Details
The upgrade to 2.8.0, currently in [testing], breaks network
functionality. Whereas with 2.6.8, my wireless connection
would be up and running every single time after boot, with
2.8.0, it is conspicuously absent. Running netcg manually
fixes this.
Rolling back to 2.6.8 fixes this as well, so something went south with 2.8.0. As a matter of fact, 2.7.3 worked as well, but since it's not present in [testing] anymore, there's no way to roll back to it :P.

Someone helpful pointed me to the NEWS file in the netcfg package, that's where this info is. That's nice, but that's where you put source code info, not packaging info. It should be in the package install file so users can fix their setups.
Even better would be to keep the old way and stick to rc.conf for netcfg integration :).
