This meant that if I needed to start the aforementioned apache, this will not need any net.* to be started, and when just one interface connected, I will have all network services working right as expected.

So in a nutshell, openrc is not hotplugging your interfaces anymore, or
they are being hotplugged but not coming up?

Could you post your /etc/rc.conf and /etc/conf.d/net (comments
stripped)?
