Sorry. I wasn't complaining about Gentoo. I meant that I'm almost completely ignorant in network stuff. I only started dhcpcd as stated in installation instructions but I could have made an error without even noticing. The fact is that I'm probably the only one running Gentoo on my network and I'm surely the only one with this problem, so I'm scared of my netadmin thinking 'He runs Gentoo -> He is a power user -> His computer has problems -> He's a script-kiddie playing with my network'. Yes, maybe I misconfigured my kernel, or it's an hardware problem (which didn't occurred before). Maybe my box has been rooted. The fact is that I'm very scared by this thing (I always hated blackhat stuff, and I don't wanna be accused of being a script-kiddie or a cracker).
