Only the following acctually show masked when I update: - -net-wireless/atmel-firmware - -net-wireless/b43-firmware - -net-wireless/b43legacy-firmware - -net-wireless/rtl8192su Due to the damage this will cause I am removing the mask on these NOW, I will cleanup the ebuilds today but this is bad, really really bad. If we are cleaning up linux-firmware that's great, but someone needs to check that the things we are masking/removing are actually in linux-firmware...
