dhcpcd problem since upgrade

Yesterday, I upgraded my system to kernel 2.6.21, along with 700MB worth of other packages.
And today I can't connect to the internet :)

My interface seems to work ok, but when I run 'dhcpcd eth0', i get

  Error, eth0: netlink: no such process

After which I still get an IP but I cannot ping any host or access any website.

I tried rolling back to the previous kernel, and the error message is similar:

  Error, eth0: netlink: network unreachable

I tried modprobing nfnetlink without success (i've no idea what nfnetlink is).
And dmesg does not show any problem.

Any idea?

Re: dhcpcd problem since upgrade

Reverting back to dhcpcd 1.3.22p14-4 made it all work just like before.

It seems like newer versions of dhcpcd do not create a magic default route upon lease renewal (that's over my head).
