37 atmel-firmware
38 ipw2100-firmware
39 ipw2200-firmware
40 b43-firmware
41 b43legacy-firmware
42 rtl8192su-firmware
43 zd1201-firmware
44 zd1211-firmware
45
46 None of these are blockers on linux-firmware, none of these are included
47 in linux firmware, none of these should be masked with no replacement as
48 we are breaking approximately 90% of wifi cards on laptops built in the
49 last 5 years.
50
51 Only the following acctually show masked when I update:
52 - -net-wireless/atmel-firmware
53 - -net-wireless/b43-firmware
54 - -net-wireless/b43legacy-firmware
55 - -net-wireless/rtl8192su
56
57 Due to the damage this will cause I am removing the mask on these NOW, I
58 will cleanup the ebuilds today but this is bad, really really bad. If
59 we are cleaning up linux-firmware that's great, but someone needs to
60 check that the things we are masking/removing are actually in
61 linux-firmware...

63 Thanks,
