Operation of the network can be handle with init scripts;
Choose wireless or net as connection to outside world and configure /etc/rc.conf to run at startup, example connecting using wireless interface;
#
# /etc/rc.conf: system configuration
#
FONT=default
KEYMAP=dvorak
TIMEZONE="Europe/Lisbon"
HOSTNAME=c9
SYSLOG=sysklogd
SERVICES=(lo iptables wlan crond)
# End of file
If is first boot after install configure iptables and one of above described scripts then proceed to update system.
This example will use Chaos Computer Club server, edit /etc/resolv.conf and make it immutable;
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 213.73.91.35
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Manual configuring like net script;
# DEV=enp8s0
# ADDR=192.168.1.9
# MASK=24
# GW=192.168.1.254
# ip addr flush dev ${DEV}
# ip route flush dev ${DEV}
# ip addr add ${ADDR}/${MASK} dev ${DEV} broadcast +
# ip link set ${DEV} up
# ip route add default via ${GW}
For more information about iptables read arch wiki. You can use /etc/iptables/rules.v4 as template, replace interface by the one facing the router/gateway. This configuration file is used at boot time by iptables-restore command, if you use a script or change the rules of running system you can use iptables-save command to save configuration to a file.
# mkdir /etc/iptables
# cp c9-doc/core/conf/iptables/rules.v4 /etc/iptables/
# cp c9-doc/core/conf/rc.d/iptables /etc/rc.d/
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/iptables
Adjust rules.v4 to your needs, then;
# sh /etc/rc.d/iptables start
Copy init script, edit if you dont like to let drop when you call stop.
Re-configure your rc.conf and add iptables before (w)lan is up;
SERVICES=(lo iptables net crond)
There is more information on Wiki Wifi Start Scripts and see /etc/rc.d/wlan. Manual or first time configuration;
# ip link
# iwlist wlp2s0 scan
# iwconfig wlp2s0 essid NAME key s:ABCDE12345
Configure wpa supplicant edit;
# vim /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1
# wpa_passphrase <ssid> <password> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Now start wpa_supplicant with:
# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Use /etc/rc.d/wlan init script to auto load wpa configuration and dhcp client.
