While transitioning to the in-kernel rt61 wireless driver, I tried to emerge net-wireless/rt61-firmware ebuild. Emerge failed because it could not unzip RT61_Firmware_V1.2.zip Had to manually emerge app-arch/unzip It was an easy and obvious fix, but the firmware ebuild should depend on unzip (this is a hardened server box without X and unzip was not installed).

+ 14 Mar 2009; Robert Buchholz <rbu@gentoo.org> rt73-firmware-1.8.ebuild: + Add DEPEND on app-arch/unzip (bug #262330 by Jonathan Heaney) Thanks!
Bug report was for rt61-firmware. I see rt73 fixed in CVS but not rt61.
whoops, very sorry. But good to know it's fixed in both ebuilds now!
