today when I run this comman d

/etc/rc.d/network restart

I see this message

The legacy network settings format is deprecated. See rc.conf(5) for details.

That rc.conf appears to be pretty old (most of the comments were removed and network configuration syntax changed). More recently most settings were moved to separate files to prepare for the switch to systemd (which happened almost two months ago) and the old way is now deprecated (the specific format of rc.conf, but also the whole initscripts system).

Apparently you haven't really kept up with the news on the frontpage. So you should see what you missed and move to systemd (which you can do in steps; start by using a more current configuration).

Edit: also, the error points you to the man page for rc.conf -- did you at least have a look at it?

Please check 'man rc.conf' for what options are supported.

Moreover, initscripts support (and rc.conf support) is going away soon. I therefore urge you to move to systemd (check the wiki).

That sentence cannot be parsed in English. I think you want this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd
