39 With a quick look at that it looks like the old version of
40 net-wireless/ipw2100 is causing ieee80211-1.0.3 to be blocked.
41
42 Give this a go:
43
44 Update this package first
45 # emerge -u ipw2100 (or emerge --nodeps -u ipw2100 if that doesn't go)
46
47 Then try updating as you did before and see if it still occurs
