hi guys, I am confused about the "net.lo" , i have add to net.wlan0 to default, rc-update add net.wlan0 default.
I am wondering do I need to add net.lo to boot or not? what does net.lo do? Even I just added net.wlan0 without net.lo
my network is still working. if anyone could explain it , thanks a lot

yes and no 
yes it should be there and it might already be there: rc-update show boot (to check if present in boot) and ifconfig lo (to check if running)
and no because i think gentoo will autoload it when any network will start even if someone remove it from boot
and no because i think stage3 comes with it already mark to be boot

net.lo start your loopback interface, you can say so, it's a critical part.
