Dhcpcd 3.1.5 causes problems in Gentoo

Dhcpcd 3.1.5 caused me and at least a couple of other Gentoo users. After a computer freeze forced me to reboot last night, I was unable to connect to the Internet, though I could connect to my router. I was thinking that either this dhcpcd update, a bad network cable, or a NIC gone bad would be the cause; I'm glad the cheapest and easiest thing to fix was the cause! I'll be keeping an eye on the Gentoo forums to see when it looks like things are fixed.
