How is it possible to recover to a normal behaviour without reboot?
If you use a dhclient server, just renew your IP. Removing the NIC module and reloading it doesn't work. :-(

I also noticed something weird. When I try to ping an IP, it returns a "Destination Host Unreachable" from "127.0.0.1", instead of 9.3.110.132.

[root@io-burnet ~]# ping 143.107.231.110
