i already reemerged net-misc/netifrc but it did not change. What can i do?

I did start my network manually with ifconfig/route to write this lines....

Try resync and rebuild netifrc, there's a problem with your net.lo that i suppose is already fixed.

but the file is in the package as you shown us.

I think you can have such problem when not using the update net.lo yet (don't run etc-update) or discard the update when using etc-update, or removed the protection on that file (in make.conf)
